Preschool/Kindergarten - explore primary colors and color awareness, search for "people in paintings" in the Imhoff Galleries and complete your visit in the studio with a creative "masterpiece".
Grade 1 - explore color in four types of paintings: portraits, landscapes, historical paintings and still life paintings in a gallery atmosphere. The studio experience blends these observations into a printmaking experience to culminate your visit.
Grade 2 - the cultural experience in Grade two refines the "color search" into warm and cool colors and looking for people "near and far" to introduce basic perspective and the horizon line. A mural "masterpiece" is completed in the studio.
Grade 3 - search for portraits, landscapes, historical paintings and still life paintings using the Imhoff Galleries as well as current exhibitions in both our Community and Travelling galleries. The studio experience becomes a painting adventure in "tints and shades".
Grade 4 - is based on portraits as a likeness of a real person, how that person looks or feels. Students will learn about portraits and how artists capture a likeness of a person. Each student will then draw a portrait.

and contemporary forms of painting, including Picasso's cubism.
Students will be guided through gesture, line and essence drawing
exercises to explore a still life setting.

will have a beautiful work of art!
