Grade Kindergarten Art

Visual arts education in kindergarten, aligned to New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards for Visual Art, introduces students to the elements of art and principles of design, the foundation upon which advanced content is built in subsequent grades. Students learn to listen, share, cooperate, use materials responsibly and follow directions in a formal school setting. Kindergarten students also learn that art has value, teaches about other times and places and connects in important ways to other areas of learning.
