Project #1

 5th Grade

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...) The 5th grade students used soft pastels to add the color and value to their drawing. The soft pastels needed to be blended with their fingers or Kleenex, and they needed to show value (lights and darks of colors) throughout all drawings. 

The Elements of Art we have covered are:

 Color, Line, Shape and Value.

Project #2

5th Grade

Ceramic Container

The 5th grade students created a ceramic container with a theme of their choice: (animal, person, hobby…). The students started with a ball of clay, and then cut their ball of clay in half. After they cut their clay they hallowed out both ends and then slipped then back together. The students could add a spout, handle and cover to their tea pot. The container was fired and then glazed.

The Elements of art we have covered are:

Color, Form, Line, Shape and Texture.

Project #3

5th Grade

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.

The Elements of art we have covered are:

Color, Value, Form, Line, Shape and Texture.
