Grade 2 Art
The arts program fosters and promotes the following qualities:
- Conceptual understanding through structured experiences
- Aesthetic values
- Creative behavior involving divergent thinking, problem solving, and the extension of the imagination
- Craftsmanship and valuing of work, using a variety of tools, media, materials, and processes
- Understanding the content of art, including the study of art history and cultures, art criticism, and art production
- Understanding one’s self by exploring self-expression
Each year, children build upon skills developed previously through drawing, painting, collage, printmaking, sculpting, and textile work. In addition, all classes will create art that correlates to our PTO – A.R.T. gallery artist.
