Mill Valley School District provides a robust studio-based art curriculum where students learn to
express personal ideas and feelings using their imagination, or observation. Students learn to
value originality, artistic freedom, and the art process.
The program places artistic expression at the center. Aesthetic values, art criticism, and art
history inspire and grow out of students' creative experiences. Students have opportunities to
make choices and cope with ambiguity and uncertainty as they exercise judgment in
solving artistic problems. Through the making of their own art, students invent, experiment,
discover, investigate, take risks, work through mistakes, and reflect. Students explore different
sources for inspiration: imagination, intuition, memory, and observation. They learn from each
other and they learn to value their creative process and product.
