Drafting, Revising, and Exhibiting

4.1: By the end of grade 4, students will select a work or works created during the year and discuss them with a parent, classmate, or teacher, explaining how the work was made, and why it was chosen for discussion.

4.2: By the end of grade 4, students will select works for exhibition and work as a group to create a display.


Children can choose personal art works to be used for display at home, in school, or in the community, accompanied by dictated labels or descriptions.

Children can create a portable exhibition in the form of a big book of drawings and paintings that can be checked out and taken home.

Critical Response

5.1: By the end of grade 4, in the course of making and viewing art, students will learn ways of discussing it, such as by making a list of all of the images seen in an artwork (visual inventory); and identifying kinds of color, line, texture, shapes, and forms in the work.


Children can select a piece of their own art work and tell why they like it, why they chose that subject, or how they made it.

With guidance, children can search art books or online museum sites to pursue more information about questions generated by reviewing a particular work of art.

Children can look at and compare illustrations in books illustrated by different illustrators (e.g., Jan Brett, Chris Van Allsburg, Eric Carle), and learn some of the vocabulary of art, such as line, color, and texture.

Arts Connections

Purposes and Meanings in the Arts

6.2: By the end of grade 4, students will investigate uses and meanings of examples of the arts in children’s daily lives, homes, and communities.



Kindergarten adaptation: see 7.1 below

Roles of Artists in Communities

7.1: By the end of grade 4, students will investigate how artists create their work; read about, view films about, or interview artists such as choreographers, dancers, composers, singers, instrumentalists, actors, storytellers, playwrights, illustrators, painters, sculptors, craftspeople, or architects.



Kindergarten children will demonstrate their awareness of the arts in their daily lives and will be exposed to how professional art is created.

Children can visit or see photographs of different styles of architecture, sculptures in local parks and museums; then discuss what they have visited or seen.

Children can identify various kinds of arts and crafts they have seen (sculpture; paintings; photographs; quilts, pottery, antique or handmade furniture).

Children can meet performing or visual artists and interview them about the training needed to make a career in the arts and other aspects of their work, such as inspiration and technique.

Concepts of Style, Stylistic Influence, and Stylistic Change

8.1: By the end of grade 4, students will identify characteristic features of the performing and visual arts of native populations and immigrant groups to America (e.g., styles of native North American cultures of the Plains or Southwest; folk and fine arts of immigrant groups from European, African, Latin American, Asian, and Middle Eastern countries.


Children can explore arts and artifacts of modern America and other cultures and eras, then compare the sounds, rhythms, or appearances that might help them identify the sound or sight of two styles, eras, artists, etc.

Children can invite parents and community members of different cultures to bring or lend examples of their culture’s artwork to the class, or to demonstrate their performances or traditions.

Tips for Teachers:

1. Provide religious context or other contextual information when applicable, particularly when children create their own versions of artifacts from other cultures.

2. Many museum websites, Smithsonian Folkways music, Library of Congress, etc., provide resources online for free or at low cost.

Inventions, Technologies, and the Arts

9.1: When using art materials or handling and viewing artifacts or musical instruments, by the end of grade 4, students will ask and answer questions such as “What is this made of?,” “How does this instrument produce sound?,” “Would I design this differently?,” “Who first thought of making something like this?”


Children can see, touch and ask questions about how art materials (e.g., crayons) or instruments (e.g., drums) are made and used; then select one technique or material to investigate and experiment with (e.g., make paper, build a drum, create a collage); then contribute to a class project or display using their knowledge or creation.

Interdisciplinary Connections

10.1: By the end of grade 4, students will integrate knowledge of dance, music, theatre, and visual arts and apply the arts to learning other disciplines.


Children can listen to/read books that explore music, dance, theater, visual arts, and literacy (such as We Are All Alike; We Are All Different by Cheltenham Elementary School Kindergarteners and photographer Laura Dwight) and represent ways that people are alike and ways they are unique.

Children can explore mathematics through dance, music, and visual arts (pattern, rhythm).

Children can explore science through visual arts (drawing from nature, collages using natural materials), through dance (body movement and use), and through music (sound).

Children can explore social studies/history through folk dances, architecture, and dramatization.

Children can explore literacy through drama, dance, music, and visual arts to expand on sounds, patterns, and themes.

Children can explore the arts through literature about the arts and artists.
