Grade Three/Four/Five Visual Arts in grades four through six is based on the Indiana Academic Standards for Visual Arts. Students in the elementary art education program build on the sequential learning experiences of the early childhood program that encompass art history, criticism, aesthetics, and production. Through self-reflection, which includes dialogue, reading, and writing, students analyze each component of their arts education as well as their own personal growth. Throughout the program, students engage in various forms of communication, utilizing a rich vocabulary and a variety of technological resources. Students make connections between art and other disciplines. Students also utilize art community resources, explore career opportunities in art, and identify opportunities for involvement in the arts community.
