Fourth+Grade

In fourth grade students will focus on the history of art, learning about art styles from different time periods from prehistoric times through present day. Each project will reflect a different art style.

Each year our fourth grade students are treated to a field trip to the Allentown Art Museum, complements of our PTO. Every year our PTO shows their support for our students by financially supporting this wonderful and enriching trip. We are so fortunate to have such involved and supportive parents! Every year our field trip to the art museum is a great art experience for our students. Our students enjoy learning about art from other countries and from other time periods. This year Mrs. Schneck's class is scheduled for May 8th and Mrs. Shank's and Mrs. Apgar-Doll's classes are scheduled for May 7th. Parents are encouraged to accompany us on this trip so interested parents or family members should contact Mrs. Alpago at school.



In fourth grade students learn how art can communicate history and culture. They will also recognize foreground, middleground and background space. Through each art lesson students will gain proficiency with art materials and will learn to describe art using the appropriate vocabulary. They will also learn about about color theory and value and will use focal point and balance in their artwork.
