However, it is the context that brings meaning to the language. Students, therefore, should always study the elements within a meaningful context. In grade one, students should learn to identify many different lines, colours, textures, shapes and three-dimensional forms. Orange, green and purple are known as secondary colours. They are created when two primary colours are combined.
Colours can be light or dark.
Every surface in the natural and constructed environment has a texture. From the time young children make marks with a pencil or crayon, they are using the elements of art. Grade two students should be guided to extend their explorations. Develop concepts which will, in later years, lead to an understanding of order in the visual environment and in their own visual expressions. The principles of design include emphasis, balance, movement, repetition, variety, contrast and unity.
