PYP Art Curriculum
Overview of the Art Curriculum
In Mrs. Macri's art class, students from Kindergarten through 4th grade learn the fundamentals of visual art through a wealth of art experiences and the promotion of the internationally minded learner through the PYP art curriculum. The students will hone the learner profile to a great extent in the PYP art room. Each learner will be a communicator through the arts and open-minded about the cultural arts explored through inquiry based projects. Students will explore two dimensional art (drawing, painting, collage, mixed media) and progress to three dimensional art (sculpting clay, constructing models and creating reliefs). Students will become knowledgeable and principled thinkers of the visual arts. Mrs. Macri interweaves world art history and culture into the lessons as well as integrates with the grade levels content of study of language arts, science, humanities and math in their general classroom. She creates new challenges for students to become inquirers, reflective and a risk-taker in the arts. Students will discover their own balanced way to learn about the subjects in history, math and sciences through the lens of the visual arts. Students also learn about the 8 Studio Habits of Thinking through the methods of Lois Hetland and visual thinking strategies that expand their perspectives in art and other subjects. Students will become artists who have a caring outlook on the world through the connections from the PYP art class experience.
