Third Grade Art
Instructor: Jackie Royce
Curriculum Map
The third grade art curriculum focuses on helping students develop basic art skills, techniques, and terminology. Our hope is the children begin thinking about art as a fine skill rather than as just decoration. Students are encouraged to critique their own art and search for possible areas of improvement. Art promotes self-discipline as students take on more responsibility with their creations and in the classroom. Art is heavily integrated with Language Arts, Social Studies, and Science. Throughout the year, students create several pieces of work that enhance and furthers the content being covered in the core subjects.
Guiding questions:
- What are space and balance in art?
- What is the connection between art and community?
- How can change be represented through art?
Focus areas:
- Demonstrating ease in using a variety of media
- Ability to discuss artwork (famous artists, other students, and their own artwork)
- Use of art vocabulary
- Develop critical and creative thinking skills
