Why is Art Important?
Every year, it is important to ask this question to students. For many students art is a subject they look forward to and by grade five you see a lot of creative expression through their work. However, there are always some students who feel anxious and discouraged when it comes to art usually because they feel they have a lack of skill compared to their peers. This unit is to overcome that barrier and to teach all students that everyone can be an artist.
Unit Two: The Colours of Fall
It doesn't take an artist to be able to appreciate the natural beauty that is seen when the leaves from the trees change colour. Our students will be drawing and taking their own pictures that show case this short, yet beautiful time of year.
Unit Three: Elements of Art
Here, we tackle the seven elements of art.
- Shape
- Texture
