Expressions is an interdisciplinary/language arts unit where students will explore the elements of art and gain knowledge on famous artists and their artistic styles. The second grade students will identify and practice using the elements of art and principles of design to generate artwork. The students will research and explore famous artists and how they used their gifts and talents to create their art. Finally, students will write a biography of an artist and create a self-portrait in the style of given artist. Students will integrate fine arts, social studies, math, and English to create their final projects.

Introduction to Art and the Elements of Art
We started the Expressions Unit by creating our first artwork. We learned how to draw a great self-portrait which we will compare to our end of year self-portrait. We will be practicing different techniques this school year, so our artwork is as good as the art masters of the past and present.

This year we are developing as artists. We are learning about the Elements of Art and practicing the technique. We are also being introduced to several art masters like Albrecht Durer, Henri Matisse, Wassily Kankinsky, Georgia O'Keeffe, Vincent van Gogh, Dale Chihuly, among others. We are learning about these artists lives and critiquing their artwork. Finally, we create our own artwork, taking inspiration from the masters, and writing our own artist's statements and artist critiques.
