Art
At Ventana Vista, visual art is a vibrant part of how our students learn, express themselves, and connect to the world. From drawing and painting to sculpture and mixed media, students explore art through hands-on experiences that foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. They learn how to share their stories visually, recognize the power of art in different cultures, and discover how art connects to history, science, and helping others.
Teacher and artist—Ms. Julie Fouts brings joy and creativity to Ventana Vista through happy art, inspired by the beauty of the Tucson desert.

In the younger grades, art lessons often begin with a story and a playful puppet, sparking imagination and bringing each lesson to life.
Learning goals are posted clearly in each lesson—like this one in kindergarten, where students explore lines, shapes, and colors through the work of Kandinsky.

What a night! Students showcased over 1,000 pieces of original artwork created throughout the year with the guidance of Ms. Fouts. Families explored colorful galleries, admired student creativity, and stepped into a glow room filled with dazzling sea creatures under blacklight. A true celebration of imagination and artistry!
