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!

We are having a blast with this project. Students pick an ocean animal that they love and draw it as large as they can. We talked about how to place the animal in an interesting place in the composition. Doing this will make their artwork more interesting. Next we traced all the lines with black glue and let it dry. The glue created a sort of raised line. Then we talked about analogous colors (any three colors next to each other on the color wheel). Students picked their analogous colors and used a blending technique I taught them to color their animal. Finally they will choose a totally different color or two to color their background. I hope you enjoy! This project is for the first fundraiser of the year for the Art Room! Check out the in works pictures below!
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a wonderful summer, I know I did! Well we are already 3 weeks in and have managed to complete 2 projects! We are on a roll! The following picture is the result of a collaborative mural every student in the school contributed to. Every student used the element of line to create patterns then colored their petal their class color. I put all the petals together to create a flower! The students loved this project and were very excited to see the end result. Keep being creative!
We have been working on jewelry making in 5th grade for several weeks now and I am blown away by their creativity. They love this project and I don't blame them. I have always enjoyed working with my hands. The feeling you get when creating something functional is like nothing else. Enjoy the pictures!
For this project I wanted to focus on three things.
1. I wanted students to learn to work collaboratively towards a common goal 2. I wanted students to learn what a sculpture was 3. I wanted students to learn that art is meant to be shared. Students were either assigned a partner or partnered with a friend. They were challenged to work together to create a sculpture of a tree. When completed they selected a CCSD employee in this school to give their tree to. I called them Cheering trees. They are meant to spread a little springtime cheer. Ask your student about them and they will share with you who they selected and what they learned. #kindnessmatters On April 15, 2019 Notre Dame cathedral caught fire and burned. They were able to save most of the structure and facade but much was lost. The extent of the damage is unknown. Please feel free to view the following SWAY I have created with more information on the cathedral and it's beautiful art. Click below.
History Happened Go to this Sway ”My many colored days” read by a student volunteer for read across America. Every 5th grade will read this book today.
we started sewing in fourth grade this week. We are making pouches. Their goal was to sew a button and today we started adding symbols. Enjoy the pictures of BSI artists hard at work!
Today we started our jewelry making unit in 5th! I love this unit. It had such success at my previous school and I am so happy to introduce BSI students to another art related career, Jewelry making. Check out the beginning of our work.
did you miss the art show? #sadface it’s ok!!! I took pictures of every single artwork at the show and I’d have to say these are the most talented students ever! Enjoy the pictures! |
