Enduring Understanding
Over the course of the year, Kindergartners will explore a variety of artists, art materials, art concepts,
art production processes, and self-expression in order to develop an understanding of aesthetics and
answer the question, “What is art?”. After each project, students will finish the phrase “My art is”.
Answers to this phrase will be posted on a bulletin board in the art classroom. At the end of the year,
each student will reflect on their own answer to the question, “What is art?”
