Week of 9/26/2022 - 4th and 5th grade - part 2

 4th and 5th graders returned this week to complete their work from the previous week.

 4th graders added watercolors to their Nate Williams self portrait. It took about 20 minutes of the 1hour and 20 minute class. After completing their works, we moved on to the element of art - Line. We practiced drawing 18 different kinds of lines. Students then created a mug with card stock, added line patterns and used paper strips to create unique handles.

5th grade students also finished their Lisa Congdon inspired works and wrote an artist statement to complete this lesson. We then moved on to practicing different kinds of lines and looked at Madhubani art from India. This folk art originated about 2000 years back and is being practiced to this day. We created a fish drawing and students were encouraged to use a variety of line patterns and vary the thickness of lines. We used watercolors to complete works.
