This curriculum guide suggests a flexible program of art for elementary grades. The artwork will reflect the levels of maturity achieved by the students. It is divided into sections on: 1) Developing of Awareness of Self Expression; 2) Organization of the Art Period; 3) Art Materials; 4) Techniques; 5) Motivation; 6) Topics for Motivation; 7) Seasonal Activities; 8) Evaluation; 9) Exhibiting; 10) Bulletin Boards; and a Suggested Letter to Parents. Many ideas for art projects are given. It is hoped that the students will learn to express reactions to their life experiences through art, and that self-awareness will enhance the power of observation. (Author/OPH)
