Students are taught how to use various mediums and tools with some success, such as handling a pair of scissors, gluing and using a paintbrush correctly. The children study the elements of art such as line, shape, and color, and begin to apply them in their works of art. Kindergarten art classes meet once a week for 30 minutes. • 1st Grade • ”The Basic Shape of Things” • Art classes for first grade meet for sixty minutes once a week. This allows for a great deal of instruction and retention. Some of the units that the students may study include self-portraits, animals, nature, and insects. The elements of art are incorporated into each project. Various art mediums are experienced which include pencil, crayon, paint, pastels, clay, and printmaking. Creativity and craftsmanship are emphasized as well as the proper use of materials.
