Students at the Del Rio Student Center are learning about the Elements of Art, focusing on “line” and “shape”, reported teacher Monica Peralta. TK and K worked on making different kinds of lines. First and 2nd used geometric shapes to create their own robot. Third through 5th learned about using lines to add texture to their drawings of animals and began using foreground, middle ground, and background. Sixth through 8th used organic shapes to create fold-out landscapes with foreground, middle ground, and background.
Music has also been a focus, with students learning about steady beat, rhythm, solfege, note names, and instruments of the orchestra.
