Cherokee’s visual arts program is designed to build concepts, skills, knowledge and aesthetic awareness in a discipline-based approach that corresponds to the development and maturation of our students which follows the Georgia Core Curriculum Standards. This curriculum helps build observation skills, encourages exploration of imagination, communicating personal ideas to others, and the correct use and manipulation of various tools, processes, and materials.
Our art teacher, Mrs. Christy Hill, is a graduate of Berry College and holds both a BS in Art Education and a Masters in Early Childhood Education.
Mrs. Hill has over 20 years experience in teaching art at the elementary level and is not only an art teacher but an artist.
She has won several awards for her paintings and other artistic talents.
Each Cherokee student has art once a week for 45 minutes.They have many opportunities to showcase their talents in various contests and art shows through out the North Georgia area such as the Spring Arts Festival.
