Grade 5
This STEAM program (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) explores the elements of composition—light, line, color, space, and shape—and their connection to mathematics, science, and visual arts. Students become art detectives, examining works from both artistic and scientific perspectives, investigating artist’s techniques, and creating claims about meaning in artworks supported by evidence.

Grade 7
Seventh graders expand their understanding of social studies and English language arts through this program. Students explore how artists express themselves and learn to share their own artistic voices in writing and artwork, both in their classrooms and at the Barnes. Learn more.
