Instruction in drawing

The students in K4 through 4th grade learn about the lives and art of individual artists. This is accomplished by reading children’s biographies of the artists, reviewing representative art and lively discussion. The information is then reinforced by use of fun jingles and games. The study an artist is followed by an art project in which the student creates an artwork in the style of the artist. Other information on elements of art are taught as applicable to the art project.
