Art

In Grade 2, the students attend art class twice a week. The art program focuses on discovering and exploring various art media. Students explore printmaking through block printing techniques, and they become aware of additive and subtractive carving methods as they experiment with clay. Students learn the importance of composition, distance and detail in drawing and painting. Through challenging art projects, they review and emphasize basic color theory and art elements. Students continue to build art vocabulary and gain further exposure to famous artists. Multicultural art is reinforced through country studies.
