Theatre
Students perform in group improvisations and learn theatrical
games to improve their skills. In the process they develop
cooperative skills and concentration and learn the vocabulary of
the theatre, such as plot, scene, sets, conflict, and script. As students retell familiar
stories and those from other cultures, they identify universal character types.
Visual Arts
Students continue to expand their understanding of the
elements of art and apply them as they learn to use basic tools
and art-making processes, such as printmaking and collage.
They describe art objects from various cultures and time periods
brought into the classroom for analysis. The objects are also analyzed
by a docent from a local museum. Now students are beginning to evaluate
their own work as they analyze what they intended to paint and how well they
succeeded.
