Discovering Art - The Scott Art Gallery
|
The children are introduced to art using the basic concepts of line, shape, color, and texture. There is a fun hands-on activity, using colored pipe cleaners at the end of the lesson that re-inforces all four attributes. The Scott Gallery of American Art provides our students with historic and beatifully rendered examples of paintings to exemplify these four pillars of art criticism. For more information about the Scott Art Gallery at the Huntington Art Collection, visit their website. On this website, you will have the opportunity to view the pcitures we discussed on our field trip. To view the pictures of our field trip, visit our Photo Gallery page.
