Project
Students will demonstrate knowledge of the methods, materials, and techniques unique to the visual arts.
Grades K - 4
1.1 Use a variety of materials and media, for example, crayons, chalk, paint, clay, various kinds of papers, textiles, and yarns, and under-stand how to use them to produce different visual effects
1.2 Create artwork in a variety of two- dimensional (2D) and three- dimensional (3D) media, for example: 2D – drawing, painting, collage, printmaking, weaving; 3D – plastic (malleable) materials such as clay and paper, wood, or found objects for assemblage and construction
1.3 Learn and use appropriate vocabulary related to methods, materials, and techniques
1.4 Learn to take care of materials and tools and to use them safely
Grades 5 - 8
1.5 Expand the repertoire of 2D and 3D art processes, techniques, and materials with a focus on the range of effects possible within each medium, such as: 2D – transparent and opaque media, wet, dry, stippled, blended, wash effects; relief printmaking effects; 3D – mobile and stabile forms, carved, molded, and constructed forms
1.6 Create artwork that demonstrates an awareness of the range and purpose of tools such as pens, brushes, markers, cameras, tools and equipment for printmaking and sculpture, and computers

Grades 9 - 12 Extended

1.14 Demonstrate a mastery of tools and techniques in one medium
1.15 Describe and apply procedures for the safe and proper maintenance of the workspace, materials, and tools; identify potential health hazards associated with materials and techniques, and possible substitutes for hazardous materials
