Fifth Grade Art

Instructor: Jackie Royce

Curriculum Map

This year students examine numerous art techniques from different cultures. We look at Inuit, Native Americans, Inca, Maya, Aztec, Maori, and Aboriginal. 

By studying the arts and crafts of a culture, it helps us gain a better understanding of what the world is made of. Art can visually tell the history of cultures, places and events throughout the world. Students are challenged to create symbols and look at what values are important. In art, the year is dedicated to self discovery through ancient cultures.

Guiding questions:

• What can art teach us about the world?
• What are the various purposes for creating art?
