First grade students learned about active and calm lines in art class and created their own active lines paintings while listening to a variety of jazz music. Next, they demonstrated their knowledge of mixing the primary colors to create secondary colors as they painted inside the shapes they created.

4th Grade Fieldtrip to High Museum of Art

Barnwell fourth graders attended a fieldtrip to the High Museum of Art to take part in the I See Literacy tour which teaches students about reading art as we read text through a series of strategies such as making visual inferences based on what you see or "read" in the work of art. The fieldtrip was a huge success and was greatly enjoyed by both students and teachers!
