As a student in Ms. Anderson’s art class at Our Lady of Fatima, students will:

Get an overview of the elements and principles of art and use them to create works.
Explore different media and materials
Work on the development of fine motor skills
Practice critical thinking skills, planning, organization, and decision making
Be able to express themselves in a safe, healthy, and creative way
Build skills in drawing, painting, sculpting, etc.
Learn to critique and be critiqued
Build their vocabulary
Practice collaboration skills
Discover different eras and styles of art and how they relate to points in history
Build confidence
And best of all, have fun!

We will explore art history by examining works in architecture, painting, sculpture, and other mediums from prehistoric times to the present. This class will highlight each topic, giving a brief overview giving students a basic understanding of the period/movement. Students are encouraged to further explore these topics outside of the classroom to expand their knowledge and understand the time more in-depth.

Let’s have a great year!
