Creativity is a big part of life at Peter Kirk!
Peter Kirk PTSA is proud to support a robust visual arts program that gives every student opportunities to create, explore, and experience art throughout their elementary school years.
From classroom art lessons and hands-on ceramics to a national arts competition and our school-wide Gallery Walk, our programs give students many different ways to discover their creativity.
Our art programs are funded by the PTSA and powered by our incredible parents and community volunteers.
ART DOCENT PROGRAM
Bringing art into every classroom
Our volunteer-led Art Docent Program gives every Peter Kirk student hands-on visual art experiences throughout the school year. Students explore artists, techniques, materials and styles, while creating artwork of their own.

CLAY PROGRAM
Hands-on ceramics for every student
Peter Kirk students don't just make art on paper -- they get to experience ceramics! Each year, students create an original clay project, watch it transform through the firing process, glaze their creation, and take home a finished ceramic artwork.
REFLECTIONS ART CONTEST
Where student creativity takes the spotlight
Reflections is the National PTA arts program that invites students to create original artwork inspired by an annual theme. Students can express themselves through visual art, photography, literature, music composition, film production, or dance choreography, with the opportunity for their work to advance from Peter Kirk all the way to the national level.
GALLERY WALK
A school-wide showcase of creativity
Each spring, Peter Kirk is transformed into a school-wide art gallery! More than 1,200 pieces of student artwork, along with hundreds of ceramic creations, come together in a celebration of the creativity of our Kindergarten through 5th grade artists.
