Mrs. Helen Krizan invites the students to create and explore the world of art.
KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS WILL LEARN:
- What art is all about. They learn how artists use the basic lines, shapes, colors, and textures in
artwork. They learn that just like artists, kindergarteners can create their own artwork using different types of lines, shapes, colors, an textures. - How shapes are created using different types of lines.
- How to organize shapes to create a row, patterns, and objects. Kindergarteners will be able to learn how to use size of shapes to create a sense of space in their art.
- The difference between two-dimensional and a three-dimensional object.
- About color: identification of basic colors, the order of color on the color wheel and how artists use colors to communicate the time of day and the year.
- About the two different types of texture: visual (texture that one can see but not feel) and tactile (texture that one can see and feel) and how to use these textures in artwork.
FIRST GRADE STUDENTS WILL LEARN:
- The different types of lines and how artists use them to create art. First graders will learn, just like artists, how to use lines to decorate, make objects, divide space, and to create motion.
- How to change shapes and put them together to create a more realistic form of art.
- About the color wheel, different color groupings, and how colors can be mixed together to create new colors.
- About texture, and how to turn a visual texture into a tactile texture.
- What symmetry is and how to create a symmetrical design.
SECOND GRADE STUDENTS WILL LEARN
- The different types of shapes and how artists use them to create symbols. Second graders will learn how to create symbols and use them in their art.
- How artists alter shapes to create art. Second graders will learn how to use these altered shapes to create symbols, patterns, and a more realistic art.
- How line can be used as a decorative element in art and in architecture.
- How artists use symmetrical designs and asymmetrical designs to create interest. Second graders will learn how to create an asymmetrical design in their art.
- How artists use texture in their artwork to create interest. Second graders will learn how to create art using tactile texture and visual texture.
- How artists use repetition to unify an art composition. Second graders will learn how to create repetition in their artwork using different elements like line, shape, and color.
- What a portrait is and how artists used different ways to create them. Second graders will learn how to draw their face in proportion and how to use different types of painting techniques to complete their portrait.
- How artists use various colors to create interest in their artwork. Second graders will learn how to create various colors by experimentation and use them to create interest in their artwork.
- How artists use light and dark colors to create interest. Second graders will learn how to create interest in an artwork using dark and light colors.
THIRD GRADE STUDENTS WILL LEARN
- How lines are used in different ways from different cultures through out the world to create art. Third graders will learn how to create art using these different ways of line.
- How patterns are used in different cultures through out history to create an interest to the artwork. The third graders will learn how to create different types of patterns and how it relates to texture.
- How to mix intermediate and neutral colors using primary and secondary colors.
- How to draw the human figure in proportion and how to create the figure in action in a three-dimensional material.
- What a radial design is, where it can be found in nature, man-made objects, and how to create one using different techniques.
- How artists refine shapes to communicate realism. Third graders will learn how to refine shapes to create a more realistic image.
- The difference between open and closed shapes and how space can have a shape.
FOURTH GRADE STUDENTS WILL LEARN:
- The history of art of the western world beginning from the Roman Empire up through the modern art that one finds today. Fifth graders will be able to categorize art according to art movements and create art projects that reflect each period along the time line.
- That color mixing can create an infinite amount of colors, tints and shades.
- To recognize that line can exist in space. Fifth graders will learn how to create perspective.
- How to use texture to create interest in a work of art.
- How to observe and analyze art in formal terms.
- How artists use art to make a personal statement. Fifth graders will learn that they can make a personal statement through their art.
- That each region of the country yields a type of artwork, which is unique to that area. Fourth graders will learn how to create a type of artwork found in each region of the country.
- What various color schemes are an dhow artists use them to communicate. Fourth graders will learn how to create different color schemes in their artwork.
- What a focal point is and how artists use a focal point to organize their artwork. Fourth graders will learn how to use a focal point in their artwork using line.
- How artists use color and symbols as a means to communicate. Fourth graders will learn how to communicate ideals by learning how to create symbols and use colors in their artwork.
- How artists use color, size, and the proportion of objects next to and overlapping each other, to create a sense of depth in each one of the three parts of an artwork: foreground, middle ground, and background.
- How some artists use texture to create edges of objects. Fourth graders will learn how to create an edge to an object by using texture.
FIFTH GRADE STUDENTS WILL LEARN:
- The history of art of the western world beginning from the Roman Empire up through the modern art that one finds today. Fifth graders will be able to categorize art according to art movements and create art projects that reflect each period along the time line.
