Fourth grade students are building upon what they learned in the third grade. 

 

They are working more and more independently. They are getting better developing the visual acuity to recognize details and to understand how objects are depicted in two dimensions. As a result, their drawings will include greater detail than those of younger children. They can see the difference between two- and three-dimensional space, but may not be able to represent the third dimension themselves.  

 

Fourth graders will begin to experiment with concepts related to three-dimensional rendering such as color and size difference, overlapping, and one-point perspective. They find realistic works of art easier to understand than abstract ones. They understand and experiment with composition, and recognize symmetry and asymmetry. They can also distinguish between genres of art such as portrait, landscape, and still life.
