In arts classes, we learn to solve problems, work in teams, organize our environment & decide what we find interesting and beautiful. Through their experiences in the art room, students have a greater understanding of their own creative process and how this relates to those around them.
Students will spend the school year learning about the elements of art and principles of design. They will experience these concepts through a variety of short-term projects in media including pencil, paint, clay, sculpture, collage & printmaking.
Long-term Goal: Identify the elements of line, shape, space, color and texture; the principles of repetition and pattern; and the expressive qualities of mood, emotion and pictorial representation.Students successfully completing the elementary fine arts classes can:
• Use materials, tools, and technology when making art
• Interpret visual images, sounds, movement, and story
• Understand the way the arts are used in their daily lives
