Following the timeline of the K12 History program, first grade Art lessons introduce students to the art and architecture of different cultures, such as Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt, Greece, and China. Students will:. Identify landscapes, still-lifes, and portraits. Study elements of art, such as line, shape, and texture. Create artwork similar to works they learn about, using many materials and techniques inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night, students paint their own Starry landscape using bold brushstroke, and they make clay sculptures inspired by a bust of Queen Nefertiti and the Great Sphinx
