Art 48 M Intro Art Music

Merit's introduction to music gives children the opportunity to explore the world of music by listening to classic children's songs as well as classical music. Children learn the lyrics to songs and sing together. The children copy the masters (Picasso, Van Gogh, Matisse, Rothko, and Monet) using tempera watercolors on canvases. They also learn how to mold clay into shapes and then glaze their bisque pieces. This project expands the children's understanding of the multi-step process. They also learn how to make patterns using mosaic tiles. By squiggling glue lines, the children experiment with sprinkling colored glitter to create exciting art. The children explore how different art tools create different effects. They create colors by mixing paints or colored clay. The goal is to give children the artistic license to express themselves using all kinds of materials.
