Artistic Pursuits Grades K-3 Book 1 An Introduction to Visual Arts
by Brenda Ellis Author
(From Amazon): Lessons for your younger students are divided into three sections as follows: What Artists Do: Ten lessons cover activities artists engage in when making art such as imagining and observing. Students explore drawing and painting techniques, gaining experience in pencil, color, and brush work. What Artists See: Seven lessons cover the elements that artists use in 2-dimesional and 3-dimensional works such as shape, form, and color. Students explore collage, paper works, and color mixing. Students gain experience in handling scissors, glue, and paper forms. Exploring Ancient Art: Fifteen lessons cover ancient art from the cave paintings of France to book illumination of the 13th century. Students see that art is more than just a painting on a wall. Cultures used it in different ways and for different purposes. Lessons expand students ideas of what art is and where it is seen. Students explore mural, pottery, low-relief, paper art, bookbinding, mosaic techniques and more.
