Third Grade

Grade three Art students begin to branch out into new areas of art studies, including composition, color theory, and beginning perspective.  The Animal Kingdom science unit as integrated into art studies provides a wealth of visual inspiration.  More complex ceramics skills are introduced and architecture is touched upon as a theme.
