4th and 5th grades had their 1st art rotation this week!
4th graders looked at the works of artist Jaume Plensa and engaged in a turn and talk and class discussion. We noticed how he uses text and symbols in his works and combines them interesting ways to create his sculptures.
We created a mind map of words based on prompts I gave students - 3 adjectives to describe yourself, favorite hobby, place etc.
Once done, students were given a piece on 9" X 12" cardboard. They drew vertical and horizontal lines using a ruler and wrote words from their mind map inside the spaces using a variety of fonts with a pencil. Some students even made up their own fonts!
They traced their words with a black chisel tip Sharpie and erased pencil lines.
Students then wrote their name on a piece of construction paper using block letters, cut them out, arranged them in an interesting way like the artist and glued them to complete their work.
5th graders created "All about me" explosion books!!
Students were given multiple prompts and answered them by creating an illustration or text using a variety of fonts in 12 boxes/ triangles on white paper. For example - 4 adjectives to describe yourself, favorite food, favorite sport, hobby etc.
Once done, they outlined their work and added color using color pencils.
We then used 4 pieces of 6” squares in complementary colors to fold and connect them to make explosion books.
Students then cut out their squares and triangles and glued them inside their books to complete their work!
