In second grade, color relationships and textural qualities are emphasized. Social and communication skills are further developed through group projects. Students are
encouraged to express themselves through art and to appreciate their own uniqueness. Second graders will refine observational skills to become more aware of their
environment, and to be able to critique works of art. Learning about art history and culture will include a study of the following artists and regions: Vincent Van Gogh, Diego Rivera, Louise Nevelson, China, India and Alaska.
Additional artists and cultures that are not addressed in the art history curriculum at other grade levels may also be included.
