Grade 2
Art in second grade turns a corner from just exploring and building upon the Elements and Principles of Art, to using them to convey meaning within ones art. Students continue to explore and use different art mediums; however students now have more control over their use. Students continue to grow and expand upon line, shape, color, pattern, and balance, this new confidence allows for new elements and principles to be added, such as; form, value and emphasis.
Students Explore:
Drawing and Painting
Portraiture
Clay Techniques
Digital Art
Landscape
Printmaking
