Project #1
5th Grade
Paper Mosaic
The 6th grade students learned how to create a mosaic from construction paper. The students learned about what makes mosaics so unique: 1.) There are spaces around each piece that the students add and 2.) You use different size shapes to fill up your paper. Mosaics are very similar to ceramic tile floors and stained glass windows with how they are made…Spaces in between each piece. The students selected an image that had meaning to them, is a hobby or something they enjoy.
The Elements of Art we have covered are:
Color, Line, Shape, Space, Value

Plaster Gauze Sculpture
The students have created a sculpture with their hand and arm made of plaster gauze. The students learned how to plaster their hands and fingers with plaster gauze, and design a sculpture from those hands and fingers. The students also designed the base (made from cardboard) for the sculpture to sit on. This base will create a mood that will bring the fingers and hands to life.

Pastel Drawing
The students created a drawing which included shapes, lines, colors and value. The drawing also included many of the things the students enjoy (sports, music, dance...)
