check out what 5th grade is working on! We looked at the process of batik and learned how to use everyday items (tooothpaste and lotion!) to create our own batik. Then we mastered our tints and shades and painted in a monochromatic color scheme. We just rinsed then out and will be pinning them up for the backdrop for the 3rd grade performance in December! We will be seeing as a last step and turning them into pillows. Wheh!! This project covers it all!

Our 5th grade students are hard at work. We are also working on our art for the Original Works fundraiser. YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE IT! I am freaking out at how talented your kids are! They truly are inspiring and creative kids. I hope you enjoy this preview of their Tropical Paradise paintings. We talked about using tempera paints and how to blend/water them to create the color/colors we are looking for. We also drew from our imaginations and images to create our own Tropical paradises. You should be very proud of these kids. I do this project every year with Kindergarten, it is one of my favorites! It covers so much! First we read the book "The very hungry caterpillar" by Eric Carle. We talk about the elements of the story and identify characters and setting. Then we discuss colors and the primary colors. Students learn that the primary colors make all other colors of the rainbow. Students get the primary colors and a sheet with a sun, leaves, flower, tree branch, and tree trunk on it. Students learn to mix their primary colors to paint the sun orange, leaves green, and flower purple. Then we talk about how the tree trunk and branch need to be brown. But WAIT! We don't have brown! We mix all the primary colors up to create brown. The kids LOVE LOVE LOVE this part. There are many ooooos and awwwwws. After we paint, we cut everything out and glue it down to blue paper. Then we talk about printmaking and use our fingers and green and red to create our caterpillar. The final step of this project is to give our caterpillar legs and a face. The kids all really love this project and I really look forward to it each year. |
