My gallery tour: Art SmArt (grades 5 to 8)
Curriculum links
Art SmART is a great opportunity to introduce discussions on art with your students and encourage them to use their imagination and their critical thinking skills in deciding what they like or dislike and why. They use art vocabulary throughout their discussions and analyze how artists use Elements of Design to communicate feelings, tell stories and convey ideas. They are encouraged to describe how the ideas of a variety of artworks relate to their knowledge and experience.
