Description

Grade 3 artists study how light and shadow draw our attention and set a mood, how artists create the illusion of depth with foreground, middle ground and background, and how elements work together in design through figure and ground, pattern, balance and symmetry. They explore Native American art, the engineering and mosaics of Rome and Byzantium, and humble architecture built from wood, mud and thatch by the people who live in it.
