Units of Study:
The philosophy of the art department is rooted in providing Ravinia students with experiences that will stimulate creativity and develop skills. From Kindergarten through fifth grade students are exposed to a variety of artists, time periods, techniques, and art mediums that will develop their knowledge of world art and build upon acquired skills.

Class rules, including birthdays, special programs:
In art, students follow the STARS guidelines: S for Safety, T for Teamwork, A for Academic Attitude, R for Respect, and S for Success. Each table has colored squares that indicate jobs like Team Leader, Assistant Team Leader, Supplier, and Clean Up. These jobs facilitate organization and fairness in the learning process.
Class homework policy :

When homework is required it is arranged between Mrs. Steckel and the student. Circumstantial requirements are applied based on the work related to the art.
