Course Overview
Art Starts Here provides an entire school year of art lessons for kindergarten and first graders. Each lesson is packed with content and vocabulary that is required by State Standards. Every unit will include an art project that will be a guided drawing lesson. Art project lessons will use common art supplies that can be found at home (pencil, crayons, markers, colored pencils, watercolor paint). Your child will learn about the Elements of Art (lines, shapes, colors/primary and secondary, and texture), the Principle of Design called pattern and the Subject Matters known as portraits and self-portrait. These units will include an introduction to content video, starting the art project video, completing the art project video and a review video with a fun assessment. There are also lessons that will teach your child how to properly use media (paper, pencil, colored pencils, crayons, markers and watercolor paint). Your kindergartner/first grader will enjoy their independence of being in art class and feeling confident with their lessons and artwork. Bonus guided drawing lessons are included for your child to enjoy outside of art class.
