CK Visual Arts: Grade 3
Focus:
Grade 3 CKVA contains five units. In Elements of Art: Light and Space, students will learn about using light, value, and space to create art. Students will learn that artists can use these elements to create a sense of realism as they experiment with techniques.
In Design and the Elements of Art, students are introduced to design as the application and arrangement of elements of art—that artists combine the different elements of art in unique ways.
In Art and Architecture: Roman and Byzantine Empires, students learn about the artistic and architectural characteristic of each civilization. This includes their impacts on later art and architecture, the role of the gods, art forms such as mosaics, and significant structures such as the Hagia Sophia.
In Unit 4, Architecture of the Earliest Peoples, students will learn about the architectural features of Neolithic structures around the world and ancient houses in the Americas before designing and building their own shelters.
At the end of the year, in Native American Art, students learn that Native American art is both functional and spiritual. Students learn about Hopi and Zuni as well as Navaho (Diné) art and culture, and explore the design and symbolism found in Native American jewelry and beadwork.
