What your child is learning
Grade 3 Art focuses on developing more realistic
treatments, refining forms and looking carefully
at the qualities of objects. Your child will explore
different ways to draw and paint and to do printmaking,
sculpture, fabric arts, photography and computer
graphics. They will begin to experiment with mixing
media. Your child will also express their feelings
and ideas through their creations, and work on
improving art pieces through critique. For more
about Grade 3 Art, refer to the program
of studies.
How your child is assessed
Your child’s learning is assessed using
a variety of tools and strategies within
the classroom. Ask your child’s teacher
what methods they are using. The different
assessment methods tell you and your child’s
teacher about your child’s strengths, the
areas in which they might grow and how
well your child is doing throughout the
course. Your child’s teacher can then change
or refine their teaching plans to ensure
that learning activities better meet the
needs of your child. At the end of the
course, your child is assessed and their
achievement is reported so that you know
if they have achieved the expected learning
outcomes for their grade.
