Art
The many different arts courses offered to the classes at BCD range from regular art and music classes to classes such as Black and White Photography and Caribbean Music. Kids in Pre-K, Kindergarten, and grades 1-6 participate in art, music, and chorus classes two times a week (per class) throughout the course of the year. The middle schoolers (grades 4-6) also partake on Shop/Pottery class. and have the option of participating in the Middle School Band.
Once in grades 7-9, kids are able to choose from a list of arts classes two courses to study for their "Arts Blocks" periods, the two last periods of the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students take two Arts Block courses for the first two trimesters of the year, and then at the beginning of the spring trimester the first two classes finish, and the students choose two new classes for the spring trimester.

Famous quotes containing the word art:

—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“All things are artificial, for nature is the art of God.”
