25.A.2d Visual Arts: Identify and describe the elements of 2- and 3-dimensional space, figure ground, value and form; the principles of rhythm, size, proportion and composition; and the expressive qualities of symbol and story.
![]() For our final project of the block we made value paintings. We started with a solid color, then added white or black to create new hues. We experimented and learned what happened when we added more or less of our paints. 25.A.2d Visual Arts: Identify and describe the elements of 2- and 3-dimensional space, figure ground, value and form; the principles of rhythm, size, proportion and composition; and the expressive qualities of symbol and story.

At the very end of the 4th grade we learned about 1 point perspective in art. We learned how to draw a city street using one point perspective. This year we are starting off with two point perspective! We will be creating another cityscape but this time, from the angle of a corner view. 26.B.2d Visual Arts: Demonstrate knowledge and skills to create works of visual art using problem solving, observing, designing, sketching and constructing.
In art we are learning about value. We practiced by doing some simple value scales using colored pencil. In each box we gradually shaded the box a lighter hue until we reached white.
Once we finished that we began a value scale design using our hands to divide our paper into sections. Each section will display a small value scale. The results are amazing! 25.A.2d Visual Arts: Identify and describe the elements of 2- and 3-dimensional space, figure ground, value and form; the principles of rhythm, size, proportion and composition; and the expressive qualities of symbol and story. For our first project in art we learned about the artist Bridget Riley Who is famous for her optical art paintings. We looked at her paintings that play tricks on the eye. We started our own optical art paintings as well. Following a precise pattern is important for the painting to work effectively!

By now, we've been learning about warm and cool colors for years so this project comes as a refresher for us. We started by creating a grid using pencils and rulers. After that we picked a special word, or our names and drew them using bubble letters. After outlining our lines with a marker, we colored our grid using only warm colors on the inside and cool colors on the outside, or the reverse, warm on the outside and cool on the inside. 26.B.2d Visual Arts: Demonstrate knowledge and skills to create works of visual art using problem solving, observing, designing, sketching and constructing.
![]() We are studying color theory in depth and this will help us to better that. The color wheels we are creating have a radial design to them. We are using tempera paints in this project so they will have a nice rich color. All the intermediate colors we will be mixing ourselves! 26.B.2d Visual Arts: Demonstrate knowledge and skills to create works of visual art using problem solving, observing, designing, sketching and constructing.
Notan art originates in Japan and uses positive and negative space to create interesting designs. We started with a black rectangle (positive shape) and proceeded to cut designs from it. The artist gets to choose how they want to place their pieces once they are cut. Do they want to use bilateral symmetry, they can reverse it as well... they can also put the shape out slightly and create negative negative space that way. There are many options, but all of them look wonderful! 25.A.2d Visual Arts: Identify and describe the elements of 2- and 3-dimensional space, figure ground, value and form; the principles of rhythm, size, proportion and composition; and the expressive qualities of symbol and story.
Last semester we learned about value in art. We learned that we could control the pressure of our pencil to create different shades of graphite on the paper. We are taking what we know about value and combining it with pattern to produce some really awesome and funky fish! 26.B.2d Visual Arts: Demonstrate knowledge and skills to create works of visual art using problem solving, observing, designing, sketching and constructing.
![]() Our next project is a quick one while some students finish up their tessellations. We learned how to draw a one point perspective city last year... this year we are taking what we learning about one point perspective drawing, and using that to create one point perspective names! We started by writing our name in bubble letters, then we used a ruler to connect each corner of our name to the point. We then colored in our designs, cut them out, and glued them to a background. 25.A.2d Visual Arts: Identify and describe the elements of 2- and 3-dimensional space, figure ground, value and form; the principles of rhythm, size, proportion and composition; and the expressive qualities of symbol and story.
In art we learned about the artist MC Escher. He was famous for his tessellations. What are tessellations?! A tessellation is a repeating pattern of polygons that covers a plane with no gaps or overlaps. We started by creating a template using cardstock. We measured out four inch sections and traced our shapes. We then outlined it and colored it using colored pencil. 25.A.2d Visual Arts: Identify and describe the elements of 2- and 3-dimensional space, figure ground, value and form; the principles of rhythm, size, proportion and composition; and the expressive qualities of symbol and story.
