To
aid the development of these fundamental creative forms, CLC gives
children the opportunity for self expression and refinement in the
ability to appreciate art and music. Montessori materials designed to
refine the ability to distinguish various musical notes is used to train
the ears of a child. Recently we had the opportunity to visit the
Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza to see and learn about the symphony.
Children learn about rhythm, musical tones and pitches and are
encouraged to have creative movement through dance. Drama and song
activities with stage performances are also encouraged.
Art teachers encourage children to draw and become aware of the shapes
and forms in the environment. Children learn about the Masters and what
distinguished their art from others. Many different mediums are used to
create the child’s own masterpiece.
