Hold on tight for this 5th grade project! We had a blast talking about contemporary graffiti artists, who we want to be when we grow up, and color schemes. These projects are going to be for the first Art Room fundraiser! Take a sneak peek below!

This lesson I did with 4th grade was an AI project. We reviewed the classroom science standard about planets closest to the sun, the sun being a star, and how size and distance vary of planets. We then talked about perspective in art and how perspective is how we see things in relation to distance. We discussed how even though the sun is further away than Mercury and Venus we see it better because it is just that much bigger than those planets. We then drew the Earth is perspective to the sun with Mercury and Venus in between. We drew them on left over laminate and painted them with tempera cakes. Then we discussed Neutral tones (brown, tan, beige, black, white, and grey). We used black and white to create our grey. Finally we taped our drawing/painting of the planets to our neutral tone background and VOILA! Arts Integration is a great way to teach my art standards by reinforcing classroom standards of learning. The perfect match!
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! 4th grade has finished their first step in their project for our Original Works fundraiser project! We talked about animals that are living under the sea. We then talked about positive and negative space and analogous colors. We discussed how to fill the space on our page. Students' selected their underwater animal and drew it with black glue. Then they added some lines in the negative space to break it up. The next step is for them to add any 3 analogous colors to their animals. Great work 4th grade! Keep an eye out for the fundraiser packets in about a month!
This is my first time teaching this lesson. I wanted my students to ease into drawing so we looked at some Optical Illusion art. The kids LOVED the work of Vasarely. We talked about how repeated pattern, color, and line created a sense of movement and/or 3-D in the work. Then we set about investigating how to use a ruler with accuracy to create our grid. It was fantastic seeing the students’ amazement when their lines created the Op art. We then used complementary colors to color them. Great work!
