6th Grade Cultural Arts
This 12 week class will include beginning Spanish activities with an oral emphasis. Besides a general review of fifth grade work, we will work on greetings, clothes, numbers, alphabet, map (Spanish countries and their capitals), and telling time. The students will complete art projects that build on previous learning while working with new media and using various ways to approach good composition and drawing fundamentals. Art criticism and sharing projects will be a part of our art activities in grade six.
