Welcome to the Mid Rivers Visual Arts Program
Marcia Sellmeyer – Art Instructor

Art is an integral part of elementary education. As part of the general learning process, art balances the curriculum to develop the whole intellect. This includes the right hemisphere of the brain which encourages self-expression, creative problem solving skills, and hand-eye coordination. Mid Rivers Elementary encourages appreciation of aesthetics, group and individual creativity, communication, knowledge and understanding of cultures and analytical thinking such as experiences in art criticism and appreciation. These qualities in our fine arts program will develop the most important needs of our balanced society.
