JumpStart Artist 4.0 is a program to introduce K-3 students to art. By teaching the kids the art basics (line, shape, color, texture, pattern) the program will help them to meet the National Standards for the Arts. The students will have the opportunity to experiment with the tools through 60 project starters and 40 printable activities. You will need to have the JumpStart Artist CD in the drive in order to use the program, even after installation. Once you introduce the CD, the Main Menu will appear, offering you to Play the program, view the Activity Guide, visit the JumpStart Website or view a video about the product (JumpStart Preview). The Play button will lead you to an animated game, where the students will learn to paint, draw, and design their own work, guided by several animated characters, that will explain what to do and encourage the budding artists. Through the different lessons, the kids will discover genres such as portrait, landscape, and still life, learn about folk art traditions, meet famous artists from around the world, and learn about famous art movements and styles. |
