Video Learning Notes
In this lesson, first-grade students develop foundational art skills by using their senses to observe the world around them. They learn to identify the elements of art and principles of design in natural and human-made environments. Through observation, discussion, and creative expression, students connect what they see and experience to art-making, building visual literacy and critical thinking skills essential for artistic growth.
Learning Goals
- Identify similarities, differences, and variations among subjects in the environment using the senses.
- Recognize and name the elements of art: line, shape, color, texture, and form.
- Identify the principles of design: emphasis, repetition/pattern, and balance in nature and human-made environments.
