La classe d'art (Art class)
 by Mme Christelle

La French Academy de LA est fière d'offrir à Richland une classe d'art, et ce, dans toutes les classes. Les étudiants ont ainsi la possibilité d'apprendre de nouvelles techniques artistiques et des concepts, mais aussi de créer des pièces uniques ainsi que des travaux en collaboration avec d'autres élèves, à l'aide d'une multitudes de matériaux. Chaque année, nous mettons en oeuvre une petite galerie d'art pour permettre aux proches de nos élèves de découvrir leur talent. 

​

Nos élèves étudient l'histoire dé l'art, apprennent à critiquer de manière constructive l'art  mais également à donner leur avis quant à ce qu'ils observent. La plupart des projets sont inspirés d'artistes allant de l'antiquité jusqu'à l'ère contemporaine. Le programme suit la réglementation US mais a lieu uniquement en français pendant une séance hebdomadaire de 45 minutes par classe.

Los Angeles French Academy provides an Art program at Richland Elementary School for all grades. Students learn new artistic skills and concepts, and create unique and collaborative pieces using a large range of mediums.  At the end of the school. year, all students participate in the Annual Art Show.

 

Students study the history of art, practice art criticism and express their opinion on visual objects. Most of the projects are inspired by artists' works and techniques from the Antiquity to the Contemporary era. The program follows the US standards for art education and is fully taught in French during a weekly 45 minute sessions.
