The second graders try their hand at most media. We draw, paint, print, collage and grow our clay hand-building skills. We start making associations between emotions and lines, shapes and colors. We explore making artwork with personal meaning and expression. We study how artists' imbue their work with message and meaning.
Artists help us discover different styles, media and subject matter. We learn about what's been done and find ways to create something new.
