Because many students with Autism are visual thinkers art can be a great way for these students to communicate their thoughts. The art curriculum at the Galileo school is designed to help enrich the true artist that lives inside of our students.  

















The courses of study contained within the Elementary Art Curriculum, have a Disciplined-Based Art Education structure. The disciplines of art history, art criticism, aesthetics/philosophy, and art production provide the four unifying strands in all art courses. Students will build skills gradually, which will help to build their confidence as artists and critical thinkers and will expand their knowledge base about art and the world, as they will have a wide variety of experiences in the visual arts. The knowledge and skills that every student will gain through these courses of study will lay the foundation for a deeper study of art on the secondary level.
