2nd Grade Art
2nd Grade Artists will explore a wide variety of art materials and techniques throughout the year, including drawing, painting, printmaking, mixed media, clay, weaving, and sculpture. We will work on both 2D and 3D projects and many of our units of study will complement the classroom curriculum. We will also incorporate art history, literature, and music and focus on working from direct observation.
