4th Grade Art at KMS!
Welcome to Kittredge Magnet School new 4th graders! I look forward to being your art teacher for the next three years. My goal is for you to gain as many new skills and learn as many new techniques as possible, and to improve on those you already have. I also hope you will walk away with an understanding of how the visual arts are a part of our everyday life, and a record of human history.
Use the "Calendar with Art Days" tab to see a calendar of upcoming art days. The teacher's name indicates who you have for art. Instead of that class, you will have art class. If you see a teacher's name that teaches you, then you have art on that day, at the normal time you would have that synchronous class.

4th Grade Art Assignment #1:
Due:
Longitudes: Tuesday, August 23 from Piercy
Latitudes: Wednesday, August 24 from McClellan
The first homework assignment is quite simple: to take letters, which are drawn with lines, and turn them into 2-dimensional shapes. Use the example in the Google Doc assignment as a guide to write/draw each letter, upper and lower case. Use them as a guide, but do not trace- you will not gain the skills well that way, and it's really obvious if you do.
Do this homework on lined notebook paper. Upper case letters should be 3 lines tall, and the lower case letters should be 2 lines tall. Leave a line empty between rows so each row is easily read.
Make sure the tops and bottoms of all letters are touching the lines that are guiding them. Make sure each letter has open space within its space.
