5th grade students started the school year by reviewing color families, line types and balance.  Using the different line types they created a styrofoam printing plate to print four times to create a radial design.  

Students are exploring the first of the five different types of subject matter ; Still Life.  They drew a fall themed still life arrangment and added value using colored pencil.  Then filled in the background with black and white Zentangle designs to demonstrate their knowledge of contrast!
