Art in the elementary grades of 3 through 5 is taught through a general course designed to examine and practice all the elements of art and principals of design. An effort is made to survey as much material as possible due to the fact that these students are at the introductory age. Students will be exposed to a wide range of topics from master artists to multi-culturism through the arts. Time will be spent developing these skills and knowledge through practice and assessment by drawing, painting, sculpture using different media.
Besides
being a foundation for understanding and appreciating the arts, the purpose of
Elementary Art 5 is to educate students of the elements of art and principals of
design and how they work individually and interdependently. By being exposed to
this knowledge the students will develop higher visual skills enhancing their
imagination, ideas, values, plans, and abilities to invent. Cultivation of those higher thinking skills -
analysis, synthesis, and evaluation -
will also benefit. Though the
understanding and development of these perceptual skills – craftsmanship, work
ethic, and technique – the student will be able to gain a better knowledge base
to ensure life appreciation and success.

Drawing – experiment with different degrees of pressures and numbers of lead to produce value scales. Painting – experiment with color intensities plus experimentation with white and black plus color to produce shades and tints. View from Life – use a lamp to produce light source. Move that light source in different directions and observe and draw changes in value. View video and slides. Use oil pastels and blend white and black plus color to produce shades and tints for value studies. |
