Kindergarten Art

In art, students will explore the artistic process by developing craft (art tools, art materials, and art practices), engaging and persisting, envisioning, expressing, observing, reflecting, stretching and exploring, and understanding art worlds.

Kindergarten students will explore and use the following materials: tempera and watercolor paints, markers, pencils, pastels, chalk, earthenware clay, model magic, stamps, and more.

Kindergarten students will explore and demonstrate the following techniques/styles: self-portraiture, abstract design, observational drawing, printmaking, collage, ceramic building (pinching, slab, hand-building), and more.

Kindergarten students will receive ongoing feedback during each art project to assist them in meeting learning targets for that project. During the second and third trimester, kindergartners receive feedback in art on the Kindergarten Report Card (M = meeting expectations, P = progressing toward expectations, N = needs improvement). The feedback is based on the projects completed during that trimester and is not cumulative.

The ”Kinder-Garden” Artshow will take place in May as a part of the graduation celebration. More information will be provided in the spring. Additionally, classes are selected throughout the year to have their art on display in the hallway. When a class is selected for display in the hallway, a note is sent home with a link to view the artwork on display.
