Grade 1 Visual Art

Students in Grade 1 begin to understand more and more about what they are creating, rather than mastering a technique. Skills to use various materials are still being developed.

Encourage your child to keep working on a project that has an end result. The focus can be a topic or subject. Allow for time for them to express their idea and then stop to reflect back to wheather they accomplished their idea.

Good ideas for them to work on are drawing themselves with family members, friends or a pet. Their surroundings also become included in their thoughts and creative work.
