Elementary Visual Art
Welcome to Art!
Saddleback Valley Unified's Elementary Visual Art Program supports ALL Transitional Kindergarten through 6th grade students across all elementary schools in our district. Students explore the building blocks to creating works of art that connect to them, their interests, and their cognitive and social emotional growth.
As stated in the California Arts Education Framework for the Public Schools, visual art education, “enriches students’ lives while providing challenging, engaging, personally fulfilling, and creative learning” (CA Arts Frameworks, 2020). SVUSD strongly believes in the development of the whole child and our Elementary Visual Art program is a core investment in our students’ multi-literacy.

Our program is process-based and focused on the development of the student's skill in the subject area. Every student will have the opportunity to uncover the artist in them.
