Kindergarten Art Class Q3 - Matthews’ Advocacy

Course Description

Kindergarten art class includes lessons and instruction during class as well as outside work on projects. Students will be learning the basics of color theory (Example: Color Mixing Rainbow). They will be learning about certain elements of art including shape, line and form. I also believe in freedom of artistic expression so there will be projects in which are meant for self-expression, giving the students full control of their creative ideas. (Example: Various Crafts)

 

 We meet on Monday’s and Wednesday’s from 12:15 – 12:45 pm.
