Art 4-H Project Area

The 4-H Art project area consists of one project manual that contains two years of activities.

Get Started In Art explores the basic elements of visual art through activities on color, line, space, balance and more, and then, you will complete your own work of art. Ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, design and crafts are all possibilities. Appropriate for members of all skill levels and ages, this project can be repeated as long as new learning takes place and new works of art are completed.

Scoresheet

Each year, 4-H members should complete the required number of activities for that level. Members will also take part in at least 1 learning experience, at least 1 leadership/citizenship activity, and complete a project review.
