Learning Content Learning content in Our Place in the World centers on the theme itself and on four inquiry areas. Research suggests that these five content areas are cognitively appropriate for novice learners. Art helps us find our place in the world. Reproductions are different from original artworks. Art makers use tools, materials, and processes.
Shape is a sensory element that art makers use.
The natural world affects how we make and understand art. Assessment Assessment is an important part of all Stories of Art units. A portfolio process, or Theme Portfolio, is embedded throughout the Core Lessons. In addition each lesson includes its own assessment procedures addressing the specific objectives for that lesson.
