Art
Dictionary for Elementary
|
|
| This
"Art Dictionary for Elementary" contains terms and concepts
mostly used in the first through fifth grade art classes at Colegio
Roosevelt. This dictionary was created by Mrs. Ruby Lakatos,
Elementary Art Teacher, using as illustrations (for most of the
terms) art works of her students (if
you are using Internet Explorer, you can see the author of each
work of art by moving your mouse pointer on top of the painting).
