Art 2
Course Overview
Following the timeline of K¹² History, second grade Art lessons include an introduction to the art and architecture of ancient Rome, medieval Europe, Islam, Mexico, Africa, China, and Japan. Students will:
- Examine elements of art and principles of design, such as line, shape, pattern, and more.
- Study and create self-portraits, landscapes, sculptures, and more.
- Create artworks similar to works they learn about, using many materials and techniques; for example, after studying Winslow Homer’s Snap the Whip, students paint their own narrative landscape and design stained glass windows inspired by the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
