Art K

Students are introduced to the elements of art—line, shape, color, and more. They learn about portraits and landscapes, realistic, and abstract art. Students will:

• Learn about important paintings, sculpture, and architecture.
• Study the works and lives of artists like Matisse, Miró, Rembrandt, Hiroshige, Cézanne, Picasso, and Faith Ringgold.
• Create artworks similar to works they learn about, using many materials and techniques; for example, they will create brightly colored paintings inspired by Matisse and make mobiles inspired by Alexander Calder.
