fifth grade students study the Elements of Art, while learning color theory they create their own color wheel while mixing their own secondary and tertiary colors from the three primary colors. We study Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock and create a splatter painting. They study Georgia O’Keefe and Abstraction while drawing a close up flower from direct observation using oil pastels. They weave a Mexican God’s Eye “Ojo De Dios” and learn to make a decorative yarn tassel. We do a graphics project of one color linoleum block prints. They use ceramic clay to construct and glaze a hanging relieve plaque in the Additive method. They also study Pop artist Andy Warhol and create a Pop art inspired piece, Wassily Kandisnky and create a Non-Objective piece using sharpie and watercolor pencils and Surrealist Salvador Dali and Frida Kahlo to create a surrealistic drawing.
