Art

Art in Grade 6 encourages students to express creativity while learning about techniques, styles, and famous artists. At this stage, learners expand beyond basic drawing and painting to explore perspective, shading, color theory, and even digital tools. Art activities also include analyzing artworks, discussing emotions behind creations, and connecting art to culture and history. By practicing these skills, students learn to communicate ideas visually and reflect on their own artistic choices. These assignments are divided into starter, practice, and challenge levels, giving Grade 6 learners opportunities to grow in confidence, skill, and appreciation for the world of art.
