Visual Arts at Maramba

At Maramba, all students experience a weekly Visual Arts program filled with highly creative tasks that support innovation, explore new meaning and foster expressions of self. We are always striving to develop the Visual Arts program, which allows students to be creative, stimulated, motivated and excited about their art making. All students have an opportunity to develop their skills and build knowledge as they learn about:

Students participate in many hands-on lessons that aim to refine their fine motor skills and support their growth. These are vital skills that can be effectively applied to other subjects.
