Art

Following the timelines in the History lessons, K12 Art lessons introduce students to great works of art from different cultures and eras, while engaging them in creative activity—painting, drawing, molding with clay, etc. Students are introduced to the elements of art—line, shape, color—and identify different types of artworks as they learn about important paintings, sculpture, and architecture. They study the works of famous artists, from Rembrandt to Warhol, and learn about different artistic movements such as Impressionism and Cubism. Students also create their own works of art similar to those they have learned about, such as mobiles, collages, and stained glass.
