The elementary visual arts curriculum at ACA is designed to offer a wide range of fun, creative, and challenging hands-on learning experiences.

All students (K4 – 5th grade) explore the elements of art: color, line, shape, value, texture, form and space. Each week, as students attend art class, they are introduced to a variety of mediums to create both two and three dimensional projects. The mediums used, but not limited to, include: pencil, charcoal, graphite, watercolor, oil pastel, chalk pastel, marker, crayon, colored pencil, clay, model magic, papier- mache', wire, fabric, ink, glue, wallpaper, grid, yarn, string, and a variety of paints. Students re-create works by famous artists, allowing them to develop an interest in art appreciation, to learn about art history and to explore different artistic styles.

Student art work is displayed in the elementary halls throughout the school year. An annual art show is also held to exhibit each student's work. Students choose from their personal portfolios their favorite artwork to display in the art show. Students also are given numerous opportunities throughout the year to participate in various art competitions sponsored by the Montgomery Museum of Fine arts as well as by local and state organizations. ACA's elementary art program desires to glorify God in its daily activities. We strive to educate the whole child, mentally, physically, and spiritually.
