Art in the Lower Grades play a key role in students development of creativity and imagination. Art also encourages Problem Solving Skills and promotes freedom of expression.

 

 

 

In the Lower Grades, (Pre-K-4th)  we work on developing our fine and gross motor skills by: 

​

• Students practice identifying shapes and colors.

• Students strengthen their drawing skills by guided practice with the teacher. 

• Students acquire good hand- eye coordination by learning to cut paper safely along the lines.

• Students learn how to properly use materials in the Art Room, such as cleaning paint brushes and caring for markers, pencils, etc.

• Students learn how to mix colors and identify Primary and Secondary Colors.

• Students will also learn about several Artists and the styles of Art they create by making their own in the style of the famous artists.
