STEAM
The MSW STEAM class is an educational program that teaches visual art, and STEM, as an interdisciplinary and hands-on learning experience that combines the creative world of visual art with the scientific exploration of technology and building. It provides students with a unique opportunity to develop their artistic skills, engage in critical thinking, and foster a deeper understanding of the world around them.
Through this program, students explore the principles of visual art, including drawing, painting, sculpture, and design, allowing them to express their creativity and develop their artistic abilities. They learn various techniques, experiment with different materials, and explore the elements of art and principles of design.
Moreover, the program integrates the STEAM approach, which incorporates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics into the curriculum alongside art. This integration encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and the application of scientific principles in a practical and artistic context.
By combining visual art, STEM studies, the program encourages students to make connections between these diverse interdisciplinary fields of study, allowing them to develop a holistic understanding of the world. Additionally, students develop core scientific skills such as observation, research, experimentation, and communication, which are valuable in both artistic and scientific pursuits.
