Welcome to Ms. Wright's studio where Kindergarten through third grade students attend art class once per week for 40 minutes. We explore different cultures, learn about various artists through history, and experiment and create with many different forms of art media.

The start of the year with Kindergarten!




The Kindergarten year in art class is a very fun and important time.  A lot of artistic growth is seen in this age group during the first year of school.  Most of the students have drawn, painted or used play dough at home, daycare or at pre-school.  They have made marks and have begun to tell stories with their images.

Throughout the fall, the students have been learning about one of the most important elements of art:  line.  Our first few projects involved drawing and cutting straight, angled and curvy lines.  They learned that lines can become outlines of shapes.  Our first project was to make a line collage out of colored construction paper. 

Skills learned: Drawing and holding a pencil correctly, using scissors safely, using glue, cutting and arranging paper to make a collage.
