School-Age Development
During the school years, children gain independence
and competence quickly. Friends become more
important and influential.
A child’s self-confidence will be affected by
the academic and social challenges
presented in the school environment.
Despite their rapid growth and
development, they still need
parents and caregivers to set
limits and encourage healthy
habits.
Here are some things
you can do to ensure
that your child
continues to be healthy:
• Make sure they get enough sleep.
• Provide opportunities for regular exercise and
individual or team sports.
• Create quiet, positive spaces for reading and
studying at home.
• Limit screen time and monitor online
activities carefully.
• Build and maintain positive family
traditions.
• Talk to your children about consent and
setting boundaries with their bodies.

Developmental
Characteristics and
Interests of School-
Age Children

Transition Years Grades K-1 (5-6 years)

 Each child develops at their own individual pace. These
guidelines are available to help you keep track of what is typical
as each child gets older. Development can also be impacted by
prenatal concerns and factors such as presence of a disability,
lack of exposure to opportunities, inadequate nutrition and/or
trauma history. Limited playtime and unsupervised early
exposure to screens and can also impact development.
Physical Development
Physical development is one of the many
domains of infant and toddler development. It
relates to the growth and skill development of
the body, including the brain, muscles, and
senses.
1. Enjoy long periods of free play.

Young children learn how things fit together through

play. It allows them to use their senses and

encourages exploration and curiosity, and these

skills are the foundation of intellectual development

and cognitive processing.” Play also inspires children

to pretend, create, and imagine.

2. Developing eye- hand coordination

• A child’s hand-eye coordination

steadily develops throughout their first
years of life. 
• Hand-eye coordination helps us
effectively and efficiently use our
hands based on what we see.
3. Enjoy small cooperative games

1. Games have been shown to be useful in

therapy situations to enhance communication skills
of autistic and socially withdrawn children.

2. Cooperative games teach kindness and fairness

and demonstrate the increased productivity that
comes from working with one’s fellow human.
4. May require rest after a high
energy play.
There is a lot going on, and it is
perfectly natural to need regular
breaks while you are learning.
Overall, resting will help children's
attention span because they won't
become overloaded.
5. Improved body coordination; yet still
can fall easily.
Coordination issues happen because their
brains have trouble telling their bodies what to
do. Some kids have trouble with what are
called fine motor skills. These kids struggle to
use their hands in tasks like using scissors or
writing by hand.
Social- Emotional Development

Social-emotional development
includes the child's experience,
expression, and management of
emotions and the ability to establish
positive and rewarding relationships with
others.
1. Eager to receive adult
praise.
Praise nurtures your child's
confidence and sense of
self. By using praise, you're
showing your child how to
think and talk positively
about themselves.
2. Enjoy dramatic play
Dramatic play teaches and
promotes expressive
language. Children are
inspired to communicate their
wishes to their peers and
therefore, must learn to
speak from the perspective
of their pretend roles.
3. Eager to engage in new
activities /adventures led
by involved adult.
Interactions between
children and adults provide
opportunities for children to
build trust, to develop an
understanding of self and
others, and to encourage
respect for the feelings and
rights of others.
 4. Eager to identify with
older children
Ages 5-6 were very curious
to understand the things that
they meet, see, touch, hear
and smell.
5. Enjoying exploring new materials and
equipment
It helps children form connections in their brain, it helps
them learn—and it's also fun. Art is a natural activity to
support this free play in children. The freedom to
manipulate different materials in an organic and
unstructured way allows for exploration and
experimentation.
 Social-Emotional
Social-emotional development is
a child’s ability to understand the
feelings of others, control their
own feelings and behaviors, and
get along with peers.
 Social - Emotional

social-emotional development is associated
with better outcomes at home, at school, and in
the community.

Visual Art
Activity
 What is Visual Art Activity?

Visual arts activities enable the student to communicate in a unique way and to organize
experiences, ideas, feelings and imaginings in a visible and tangible way. Through drawing,
painting, constructing and inventing, the student is enabled to assimilate, respond to, and
make sense of, his/her experience of the world.
 Visual Arts

Visual Arts are art forms that create works that are primarily
visual in nature, such as ceramics, drawing, painting,
sculpture, printmaking, design, crafts, photography, video,
film making, and architecture.
 Visual Arts Include:

1. Two-dimensional or Pictorial
2. Tree-dimensional
 Two-dimensional or Pictorial

In Geometry, a Two-Dimensional shape can be defined as a flat plane figure or a shape that
has two dimensions – length and width.

 Collage Making

A collage is a form of visual arts in which visual elements are combined to create a new
image that conveys a message or idea. Collage comes from the French word “collér,” which
means “to glue,” often the primary means of combining images in collage art.
 4 Types of Collages

1. Papier collé

2. Découpage

3. Photomontage

4. Assemblage
 1. Papier collé

Taken from the French term meaning “pasted paper” or “paper cut-out,” papier collé, or
paper collage, is a collaging technique in which printed or decorated paper is applied to a
surface, such as canvas, to create a new image. The early collage work of Picasso, Braque,
and Spanish painter Juan Gris are examples of papier collé.
 1. Papier collé

Picasso Juan Gris Braque

 2. Découpage

Initially used to describe a seventeenth-century form of furniture-making and decoration,

découpage—taken from the French word “découper,” meaning to “cut out”—involves the
arranging and pasting of colored paper cutouts, often by layering, to create an image. The
image is then sealed with varnish.
 3. Photomontage

A collage created by cutting and gluing other photographs to create a new image is known
as photomontage or compositing. The new image is frequently photographed to create a
seamless element to the photo collage. The prominence of digital image-editing software
has led to greater ease in creating photomontage.
 4. Assemblage

A technique by which three-dimensional images are created by adding found objects to a

flat surface, assemblage is a form of visual art related to collage. Twentieth-century
assemblage artists include Pablo Picasso, who used metal scraps, and Robert Rauschenberg,
whose mixed-media approach combined found material and paint to create reliefs (a
sculpture technique where the background appears raised)

 Printing

• Printmaking is the process of creating artworks by printing, normally on paper, but also
on fabric, wood, metal, and other surfaces.

• Printmaking is a process that typically allows artists to make multiple original works of
art. In most cases, the artist creates an image on a matrix made out of metal, stone,
wood, or other materials.
 Types of Printing

• Relief Printing is when you carve into a printing block that you then use to press onto
paper and make a print. The lines or shapes you carve into the printing block will not
have ink on them, so will not show up on your paper. Instead, the print will reveal the
parts you don’t draw, because they come into contact with the ink.
 Types of Printing

• Intaglio printing is the opposite of relief printing, in that the printing is done from ink
that is below the surface of the plate. The design is cut, scratched, or etched into the
printing surface or plate, which can be copper, zinc, aluminum, magnesium, plastics, or
even coated paper. The printing ink is rubbed into the incisions or grooves, and the
surface is wiped clean. Unlike surface printing, intaglio printing—which is actually a
process of embossing the paper into the incised lines—requires considerable pressure.
Intaglio processes are probably the most versatile of the printmaking methods, as various
techniques can produce a wide range of effects.
 Types of Printing

• Stencil Techniques are one of the simplest forms of printmaking. Stenciling can be any
process of printing through an opening in a material or a cutout design. The negative
space around the image is blocked out by the solid stencil and the ink is applied through
the openings to form the image.
 Photography

The art or process of capturing images, either on light-sensitive film or electronically in

digital form, from which viewable pictures can be produced.
 Types of Photography

• Portrait Photography • Sports Photography

• Still Life Photography • Wildlife Photography
• Travel Photography • Event Photography
• Pet Photography • Fashion Photography
• Food Photography • Weather Photography

 Computer Graphics

Computer graphics deals with generating images with the aid of computers. Today,
computer graphics is a core technology in digital photography, film, video games, cell
phone and computer displays, and many specialized applications.
 Three-dimensional

Three-dimensional art pieces, presented in the dimensions of height, width, and depth,
occupy physical space and can be perceived from all sides and angles. Sculptures have been
predominant 3D art forms for centuries, evolving continually throughout different periods
of art history.
