Governor Morehead School: The Visual Arts Program
November 20, 2007–March 10, 2008
Founded in 1845, the Governor Morehead School (GMS) in Raleigh is the only residential school for blind and visually impaired students in the state. Fine arts have been an integral part of the curriculum at GMS and that continues today. Visual art has evolved from traditional handicrafts to the current kindergarten through 12th grade program complete with exposure to all of the elements and principles of art and the cultural history of visual art.
Teachers at GMS strive to make learning as “hands on” as possible. Students enjoy a vast array of media that adds to their educational experiences; projects incorporate as many tactile elements as possible. Teaching techniques in visual art classes include hand-over-hand or hand-under-hand methods, and students are given concrete, touchable examples of concepts such as shape versus form.
