Abintra Art - Week 5 (2012 - 2013 School Year)

One of the first aspects of art in Early Childhood is understanding and exploring color.  Below is a student learning the primary colors by painting them on a color wheel. Beginning skills used in creating art include cutting, painting with a brush, and gluing. Practicing these skills also strengthens the hand for writing.



The students of EC took advantage of this beautiful fall weather by creating art outside with nature.




LE continued their study of the elements of design. This week they focused on lines.
