SABIS Elementary Art Curriculum
The SABIS Elementary Art curriculum guides students through the visual elements and principles of design across Grades 1 to 5. Each grade builds on the last, moving from basic mark-making and primary colours through to composition, perspective, and mixed-media work assessed through the SABIS Point System®.
Visual Elements — Line, shape, form, colour, texture, space, and value introduced sequentially by grade.
Colour Theory — Primary, secondary, and tertiary colours; warm and cool palettes; tints, shades, and tones.
Composition and Design — Balance, symmetry, pattern, rhythm, and focal point practised through guided artwork.
Art History and Appreciation — Recognition of artistic styles, movements, and famous works appropriate to each grade level.
SABIS Point System® — Structured learning objectives tracked per unit, allowing tutors to identify and close specific skill gaps.
Talimat tutors support the full SABIS Elementary curriculum. Pair Art sessions with any of these subjects to give your child complete academic coverage.
+ additional world language and enrichment subjects available on request.
SABIS Elementary uses a structured internal grading system with regular periodic assessments tracked through the SABIS Point System®. Performance is reported as letter grades, typically A to F, aligned to percentage scores across each academic term.

SABIS Elementary Art is more structured than most parents expect. The SABIS Point System® tracks specific visual art objectives grade by grade, and students are assessed periodically on skills ranging from colour mixing to compositional balance. This section explains what makes the subject demanding and how 1:1 support closes the gaps.
The SABIS Art curriculum is not free-expression drawing. Each grade introduces precise visual concepts: Grade 1 students learn to identify and use basic line types and primary colours, while Grade 5 students are expected to apply perspective, tonal shading, and design principles to finished compositions assessed by their teacher.
Because Art objectives in SABIS are tracked through the Point System®, a student who misses a foundational unit on colour theory in Grade 2 will carry that gap into Grade 3 work on tints, shades, and tonal value. A 1:1 tutor can run a targeted diagnostic, identify which specific objectives are incomplete, and rebuild those skills without reteaching content the child already knows.
For families in the GCC, online tutoring means access to tutors who understand the SABIS methodology and the exact sequence of Art objectives, regardless of whether you are based in Dubai, Riyadh, Muscat, or Doha. Sessions are live and personalised, not recorded videos or group classes.
Key takeaways
Every session is live and 1:1. Your child's tutor reviews their current SABIS Art unit, identifies Point System® gaps, and works through the exact objectives your child needs to complete.
