Art Room 212- Ms. Hart

Welcome! This year in art class, students will be exploring areas such as drawing, painting, printmaking sculpture, graphic design and environmental design. Students will also be learning how to use art elements (line, shape, color, value, space, texture and form) and art principles (balance, unity, contrast, emphasis, pattern, rhythm and movement) to create art and assess artwork.

Students will also be using a wide variety of art materials in class such as pencil, pastels, watercolor paint, tempera paint, acrylic, collage, found objects and more. Students will learn about famous artists and art history and how art is important as part of our community.

Classroom Information:

-Grades 1-6 meet once a week (kindergarten is every other week).

-Student work goes home once every few weeks though older student projects may last longer than a few weeks so less work to go home.

-I will save about two-three pieces per student until the end of the year for displays and shows.

Wish List:

I do accept donations of items for use in the art room:

-Fabrics (all colors, textures and patterns)

-Wallpaper books

-Yarn (especially earth tones/skin tones)

-Magazines with good graphics

-Dish washing liquid soap bottles

-pencil sharpeners

-Tissues

I wish for you and your child to have a great year!
