Most children have a natural love for art! Exposing students to art encourages creativity, promotes critical thinking, introduces various cultures, and allows expression of feelings without words. Additionally, art increases concentration, enhances hand-eye coordination, builds confidence, and most of all…it’s fun! LPL have developed 32-week lesson plans around the book Artistic Pursuits.

Artistic Pursuits is full of vibrant reproductions of famous works of art. Throughout the year, your student will be exposed to art appreciation, various skills, renown artists, and art history. Each week, your student will be given an opportunity to apply what he has learned by creating his own masterpieces based on the inspiration of famous artists from the 13th to 18th centuries. He will enjoy producing original works of art using watercolor, tempera paint, oil pastels, ink, papier-mâché, and mixed media!

Some of the many goals of second grade art include: studying celebrated artwork from the Middle Ages and 18th century, learning new art-making processes, exploring various art elements, and learning about numerous cultures.
