Art education at Fontana Elementary School respects and nurtures the students’

        creative, artistic ability and imagination.  In the art room students are encouraged

        to be independent thinkers and problem solvers.  Having a workable knowledge of

        the art elements and principles, students will be aware of the importance of art in

        their daily lives after having art classes from kindergarten through eighth grade.

        Student art work will be honored by being on display on the featured artist board in

        the main entry hall, at the Fontana Public Library, and at Big Foot High School on a

        rotating basis.  Students work will also be selected to represent Fontana Elementary

        School in the Southern Lakes Anthology in Whitewater, in the Wisconsin Art Educators

        Association show in Madison, in the Lake Geneva Women’s Club show at the Lake

        Geneva Public Library and in the Walworth County Arts Council young artist recognition

        show in Elkhorn.  At the end of the year the parents club will select several art works to

        be framed to hang in the school.  These pieces of art will be returned to the student

        either when they move out of the district or graduate from Fontana Elementary School.
