Suggested Vocabulary for Kindergarten Students


The use of proper terminology and the ability to converse about art knowledgably
is encouraged; therefore, each student should be made aware of the language
of art. This is a suggested vocabulary list and is by no means intended to be
all-inclusive. As each teacher introduces new media, techniques, and concepts
additional vocabulary is often needed in order to appropriately communicate ideas.
