In the students first year of art at Oak Hill they cover many aspects of art. They do two ceramic projects including the pinch and slab methods. They learn about symmetry and create a symmetrical beaded necklace. They also learn about mosaics and create a mosaic tile trivet, and matt weaving. They learn about the primary and secondary colors while painting with acrylic and tempera paint. In first grade we do multiple projects that involve cutting to improve scissor skills. We also work with glue and other various materials to prepare them for future projects. We study Post Impressionist Vincent Van Gogh and learn to draw facial features and a self portrait. They learn to use they letter Y to create a Y-tree with sharpies and watercolor to make a winter or summer tree.
