Visual Arts
The Visual Arts Program at PS 197 strives to provide all students in grades Pre-Kindergarten through Fifth grade with a diverse range of visual arts experiences from drawing and painting to printmaking, sculpture and textile work. Students are given foundational skills in art practices, concepts and techniques that scaffold from year to year.
