Grade 4 • 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 a 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.
