Elementary Visual Art   Learning Through the Elements of Visual Art: 

Learning visual art is a spiraled process. Elementary children should be actively  involved in art making! This approach introduces students to the Elements of  Visual Art. Basic information is presented on each element that is built upon  with subsequent lessons and activities. While you may have a unit on “Color,”  learning about color is a never ending process. As with all elements, you move  from simple to more complex concepts throughout the year. While prior  knowledge is important for moving to complex skills, the order of teaching the  elements can be flexible and more than one element can be covered  throughout one lesson. The lessons provided are organized around the  elements of art including: Line, Shape, Color, Texture, Space, Value and Form.  Knowledge and understanding of the elements are aligned with the Utah Core  Elementary Visual Arts Standards. Teachers are strongly encouraged to  collaborate with classroom teachers to integrate and reinforce English Language  Arts, Math, Social Studies, Science and other core contents into the visual art  lesson. Some lessons provided are already integrated into various core topics.
