In fifth grade we know that line is one of the elements of art and design. We picked animals to fill with an assortment of line designs. Straight, wavy, zigzag, loopy... anything goes! We tried to be as creative as possible!
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.
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.
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! 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.
The fifth grade classes are jumping in right away with some really awesome art! Last year we finished up the school year learning about one point perspective, and this year we're heading into the challenge of two point perspective. Ask your child how the two types differ! Some of the vocabulary we covered included: vanishing points, horizon line, vertical and horizontal. 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.
