The 4th Grade Art Room

Students in the 4^th and 5^th elementary art education program build on the sequential learning experiences of the early childhood program that encompass art history, criticism, aesthetics, and production. Art concepts are reinforced and strengthened through activities based on the elements of art and principles of design. Through self-reflection, students will analyze each component of their arts education as well as their own personal growth.

• Recognize and use the elements of art (line, color, shape, texture, form, value, and space) in creating two- and three-dimensional artwork.
• Evaluate their own artwork and the artwork of others in a positive way.
• Understand the color wheel and how primary, secondary, and complimentary colors can be used in their artwork.
• Understand how proportion and perspective are used in creating artwork.
• Acquire beginning knowledge of art history and art related to areas of study in grade 4.
