What the Grade 4 Art & Creativity course covers

Colour theory extends to complementary pairs, and shape moves into form and proportion. Pattern becomes symmetry and tessellation, which is early geometry, and the course ends on truck art and Pakistani craft traditions.

The Grade 4 Art & Creativity course is two units, taken in order: Colour and Shape and Pattern and Craft.

The course runs to 4 numbered lessons and 32 written questions, around 20 minutes of teaching. Most families take it over a few weeks. Each attempt draws a different set of questions, so repeating a lesson is practice rather than recall of the answer order.

This is step 6 of 7 in Art & Creativity. Nothing is locked, so if these lessons are easy the next grade is one tap away, and if they are hard the grade below is too.

How Art & Creativity is taught here

Art moves from colour and shape, to pattern, to the crafts that build on both. Children learn primary and secondary colours, then lines and shapes, then repeating pattern, and then simple making with paper, drawing and traditional craft ideas.

Levels and scoring

Each lesson plays at Explorer, Challenger or Champion. Only first-try answers count towards stars, so a retry never inflates a score, and a lesson is mastered at 90 percent at Challenger or above. See how a lesson works for the full explanation.

Questions parents ask

How long does the Grade 4 Art & Creativity course take?

4 lessons and 32 questions, about 20 minutes of teaching. There is no streak to maintain and no deadline, so it can be done in one sitting or spread out.

What age is Grade 4 Art & Creativity for?

Ages 8 to 9 is the guide, but go by what your child can already do rather than by age. Nothing is locked for a visitor, so trying the level above or below costs nothing and takes one tap.

Is Grade 4 Art & Creativity free?

Yes, and without the usual catch. No account is needed, there is no advertising and there are no in-app purchases. It also works with no connection once the site is added to a home screen, or through the free Android app.

Does my child need art materials?

No. Every lesson can be answered on screen. Where a lesson suggests making something, it uses paper and pencil rather than anything that has to be bought.
