At Academie Da Vinci, we prioritize providing our students with many opportunities to highlight their artistic talents and creativity. Throughout the year, students are entered into a minimum of 7-8 countywide art shows, allowing them to share their work with a wider audience and gain recognition for their achievements.
In our fine art classes, students engage in studio-based art experiences that align with the rigorous standards set forth by the Florida State Standards. Our comprehensive curriculum covers a wide range of artistic media, including drawing, painting, printmaking, mixed media/fiber, digital media, sculpture, and ceramics. Through hands-on exploration and experimentation, students develop their technical skills and artistic vision, allowing them to express themselves authentically across various mediums.
Our art rooms are equipped with 1:1 iPads and Smart Boards, providing students with access to innovative technology that enhances their artistic process. These tools are seamlessly integrated into our curriculum, allowing students to conduct research, explore new techniques, and create unique artworks using digital media alongside traditional mediums such as drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and ceramics.
At Academie Da Vinci, we are committed to providing our students with a dynamic and innovative art education that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and self-expression. Whether working with traditional materials or embracing digital technology, our students are empowered to explore their artistic potential and cultivate a lifelong passion for the arts.
