FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS AND EXPECTATIONS
Fourth grade is an interesting age, where each child seems to have his/her own unique sense of humor :) It is not easy creating art projects that all children will find interesting, but with some wit, imagination and giving children choices in art expression, this could be an amazingly successful year. At this level, children will be introduced to principles of design like balance, symmetry and proportion. In addition to teaching these art lessons, encourage students to explore more advanced artistic techniques. Encourage children to begin self assessments of their art projects at completion.
