Explorations in Art, Grades 1–6Elementary/Early Childhood

Grade 5

By Marilyn G. Stewart

Engage your students as they explore Big Ideas that are relevant to their lives. Your students will create, view, and discuss artworks that explore these Essential Questions:

  • Who are we?
  • How do we live our lives?
  • What can the past teach us?
  • How can we explore the unexpected?
  • How can we learn by observing the natural world?
  • How can we communicate our ideas and feelings?
  • What can we imagine?

Each unit of Explorations in Art is organized around concepts that students should understand deeply! These concepts are broad, umbrella-like ideas that guide students in understanding what it means to be human and live alongside others in the world. That’s a Big Idea!
