A1-2:12 Students show understanding of visual arts CONCEPTS and VOCABULARY by identifying and using basic elements of design (e.g., line, shape, primary and secondary colors); and by naming and using genres like portrait, and landscape).
A1-2:15 Students critique and revise art by making affirming statements (e.g., I noticed, I saw, I like…) noticed secondary colors in butterfly.
A1-2:19 Students approach artistic problem solving with an open mind and creative thinking by responding to teacher suggested solutions (e.g., Try mixing yellow and blue).
