What is a tint of a color? What is a shade of a color? In art, a tint is a color diluted with white. A shade is the opposite, it has black added to it. We each chose a color to create four different tints, and 4 different shades. We used tempera paints and carefully mixed our colors. We then created a scale going from lightest to darkest. 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.
The fifth graders are jumping right into art this block by creating some really nice color wheels. 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.
Your child has now finished the first block of art, and will begin dance. After dance they will attend music and then repeat the schedule after the new year! See you in 2015!
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.
