– In recognition of the vital role that creative arts play in students’ academic achievement, Barnard Mandarin Magnet Elementary has rolled out a new supplemental art curriculum in the 2018-19 school year. Barnard’s PTA purchased licensing and materials for Arts Attack, a San Diego-based company that provides visual art curricula for elementary schools, to teach students the elements and principles of art and to introduce them over the next five years to works from famous artists, other cultures, and historical periods. 
One of the second grade classrooms completed a dragon-themed lesson where students studied pictures of dragons from China and medieval England to interpret their story and meaning. Twins Saylor and Journey M. participated in the dragon lesson and interpreted the subject matter in unique ways.
