Programs/Activities

At Kendall-Whittier, Fine Arts is integral to our school culture. Every student has access to joyful Visual Art and General Music classes approximately once a week.

In Visual Art, Mr. Price leads students to create projects of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional art using many methods and materials.  This includes painting, drawing, sculpture and many other contemporary methods of artistic expression.  At Kendall Whittier, students are pushed to grow as artists and creative problem solvers.

In General Music, Mrs. Wyble helps every child to successfully enjoy making music, with singing, playing barred instruments / xylophones, drums, and soprano recorders at appropriate ages. Music Vocabulary and Concepts are learned in fun ways, while folk dancing from other cultures and even today’s pop culture is included. There are music programs planned throughout the year, so that each child has an opportunity to shine!

After school programs we offer:  

• Tiger Choir – an auditioned group of singers, 4^th grade and older.
• Beginning World Music Drummers  - an auditioned group of students learning to play drums in the African style, while branching out into other cultures as well.
• Advanced World Music Drummers – an auditioned group that has transitioned from the Beginning class, and has many opportunities to perform in the community. 

During first semester, we will be offering an 8-week session, and a 10 – week session second semester.  Each session will host a variety of clubs to students not attending KWHP.  Students will be able to attend one to two days a week, depending on the club they sign up for. Offerings will be posted at the beginning of September and again in December in preparation for second semester, so be watching for upcoming information.
