2.20 RC          The student will use appropriate vocabulary related to art experiences.

2.14                 The student will express opinions with supporting statements regarding works of art.

2.21 RC             The student will use and care for materials properly.

2.28 RC          The student will demonstrate the skills and processes necessary for drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, crafts, ceramics and commercial art commensurate with his developmental level.

Instructional Strategies: lupl

The above objectives are to be addressed through the second grade art program.  Appropriate terminology is essential to the child’s understanding of art.  The teacher will provide and use art terminology as it applies to a given unit of study.

The teacher will also demonstrate and guide students in their mastery of certain skills necessary to produce art work.  Skills should include but not be limited to:  fringing, folding, piercing, curling, weaving, stitching, constructing and modeling.  Proper use and care of materials should be emphasized at all times.

Students will use computers, art prints, books and art text as resources for learning about artists and their work.  References made to Roanoke County’s second grade Art text book, Portfolios, by Robyn Montana Turner are in parentheses throughout the units.

When implementing the instructional units for the second grade, these objectives should be included as an integral part of the instructional program.
