This week, the fifth graders continued their study of personality and abstract art.  They started their day by finishing their Neoplasticism (De Stijl) artwork from last week. They then read an article on the next Myers-Briggs pairing of Thinking versus Feeling and then learned about the Impressionism movement and the art style of pointillism. They thought deeply to translate Thinking or Feeling into their third art piece using pointillism.

We had a bit of extra time at the end of the day, so we got a head start and learned about Jackson Pollock's action art for next week's fourth and final piece. We will use washable paint, but it is probably a good idea for your 5th grader to not wear their best clothes next week, just in case there is a bit too much action to their art!
