Grade 3 • Visual Art Overview

Visual arts instruction is designed to foster 21st century skills encompassing critical and creative thinking, self-direction, perseverance, and accountability in the making of personal works of art.
Emerging Intermediate: My Art and My World
This instructional level is one of transition. Children begin to become independent thinkers, are self-motivated, and are ready for new artistic challenges. Students develop a global understanding of self and the world. Artistic ability is further developed through directed exploration of studio media, using the formal qualities of art. Students begin to critically consider their work and the work of others in both verbal and written form.
