First Grade students will be experimenting with a variety of media throughout the school year from crayon and pastels, to collage and printmaking. I will be teaching the Massachusetts Frameworks Standards related to the visual arts elements, as well as art history, and art vocabulary. Check out our art blog to see photos of current projects! Some concepts we will be focusing on this year in first grade art are: -How lines convey form -Primary and secondary colors -Warm and cool colors -Shape and form -Creating the illusion of texture -Symmetry using flipped image -Balance
