6th+Grade

=6th Grade = //This year I will introduce art from different eras and cultures such as: the Paleolithic cave paintings of France, Ancient Egyptian architecture and relief sculpture, origami from Asia, and Celtic illuminated manuscripts created during the Middle Ages. We will discuss contemporary art and artists that made a significant contribution to the world, as well. 6th grade art students will spend considerable time participating in a watercolor painting workshop where they will focus on learning new techniques. They will apply what they know to the creation of original artwork.//
