This is the last term of the school year, and our unit is How We Express Ourselves.
Art expresses emotion as our central idea. Our lines of inquiry are the following:
Form - Various media use to create art
Causation - How art makes us feel
We started off our unit exploring different kinds of emotions.
Brainstorming
Students share their thoughts and ideas for our short skit for our year-end performance.
Fun painting activity
Painting exercises a child’s brain.
Through painting, children learn how to express their feelings, make decisions and problem-solve. Also, it builds their self-esteem and self-confidence.
Painting helps develop muscle control and is a sensory experience. It helps relieve stress and provides an opportunity to experience cause and effect.
