Welcome to the art program at Beauvoir and Jeff DavisElementary Schools.  Students in k - 5th grades at both schools participate in the program on alternating weeks.  The curriculum is driven by the Mississippi Department of Education's Framework for Fine Arts Curriculum.

As the art teacher for Beauvoir and Jeff Davis, I strive to ensure that each student has the opportunity for hands-on learning and developing critical thinking skills.  I also emphasize an appreciation of art history along with pride in their own artwork.  Students learn about and develop skills with a wide range of art materials in drawing, painting, printmaking, embossing, weaving, sculpture, and ceramics.  Many different artists and cultures are explored throughout the year.  There are also many opportunities for inter-curriculum connections with literacy, social studies, math, and science.

A sampling of student artwork is displayed in our two virtual galleries.  Scenes from the studios are also featured for both schools.
