Fine artsFormal InstructionStudents from kindergarten through eighth grade receive formal instruction in art. They study the basic elements of line, shape, color, form, and texture while working in paints, pastels, clay, papier mache, pencils and ink. Art is also incorporated across the curriculum, particularly in Lower School classes as students learn to express ideas in a variety of ways. Middle and Upper School students participate in an art studio environment, with an open flow of ideas and hands-on instruction in graphic design, digital art, drawing, painting, ceramics, computer graphics, AP Studio art and art appreciation. Students work in a variety of mediums such as tempera, acrylic and watercolor paint, ceramics and printmaking. They have opportunities to enter arts competitions throughout the year and display their work during Gallery Knights in the school gallery on the Hobe Sound campus. Music is integrated into all classes and assemblies. It is studied formally by students in Kindergarten through fourth grade. The emphasis in these classes is active musical participation: playing instruments such as drums, xylophones and recorders and singing a variety of folk, contemporary and patriotic songs. By the fifth and sixth grades, students are eligible to take classes in Band and Chorus, where they learn music fundamentals, performance skills, responsibility to the group, and the joy of making music. These opportunities continue in the Middle School and Upper School, where Band, Jazz Band, and Chorus are popular choices for Encore or Elective classes. Dance and movement are integrated into the school program in the Lower School. Co-curricular ActivitiesMiddle and Upper School students are involved in Drama, and produce two dramatic presentations each year. One of these is typically a musical with opportunities for performing and learning backstage production. Students with musical talent are encouraged to take private lessons either at the school or in the community. Opportunities for PerformanceThroughout the year students participate in numerous assemblies and performances to exhibit their abilities and to give them confidence in speaking and performing before an audience. In addition to school assemblies and celebrations, there are certain traditions at The Pine School that call for student performances. In the fall, there are Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving programs, including the Thanksgiving Festival by Early Learning and Kindergarten children. The Holiday concert features the band and chorus on both campuses. In spring the students present the annual Grandparents and Special Friends Day concert. The Evening of the Arts celebrates individual performers who are selected by audition to perform in a special evening concert on each campus. An art show spills out onto the entire campus, as students display the best of their year's work. Middle School and Upper School students present a drama in the winter months and a musical in the spring. Arts on CampusThe Pine School brings musical performers to the campus through a collaboration with The Treasure Coast Concert Association and Women Supporting the Arts. Local schools and home schooled children have been invited to the campus to share in performances by guests such as Joshua Bell, The 5 Browns, Salvatore Licitra, Nestor Torres and Regina Carter. Master classes are offered during the year by national and internationally-known musicians to teach musical appreciation and improve performance skills.[1] Working painters, sculptors, and artists have been invited to teach so that students can interact with those actually earning a living.
