6th Grade Elements of Art

6th Grade busy analyzing art with Mrs. Paradis. Students were asked to look at a poster then write down the first element  of art that stood out to them.  Soon the 6th grade will be using their knowledge of the elements to create a Mandala. Great class work! FYI this is a new 6th grade class. We always begin by introducing students to the basics of art like the 6 Elements since we always use it in creating and discussing artwork.
