May 28th June 5: Last Day to Turn in Projects

I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe during this time! As the school year is winding down I am preparing to enter report card grades for students. As you know the grading will look a little different with this final report card. Art will be based on participation only. This week will be the final assignments for the school year for art to allow grading time. I will be grading any late assignments so if your student is behind they can still turn in work! All of my assignments have been posted on my blog and are labeled by grade level. I will have a final due date of June 5th for any assignments! You can email them to me at any time with your students’ name or send them through Class Dojo. My email is posted below! I hope to see everyone soon!

May 26th 5/26 3rd-5th Grade Mandala Assignment

What is a Mandala? The word Mandala literally means circle! a Mandala is a circular design that shows radial symmetry (its the same going all the way around!) using shapes and lines. Watch the video and follow the steps below to create your own mandala! Yours should look different than mine! No paper? No problem! You can use a paper plate to create a really cool design! You can even use chalk on your sidewalk! Don’t forget to send me a picture!

Step 1: Using a plate, lid, or something circular, trace a circle in the middle of your paper

Step 2: Use other circular objects to trace smaller circles inside your large circle! These are called concentric circles! I used cups to create mine!

Step 3: Use a Ruler or straight edge to draw lines going through the center of your circles! I drew 4 lines crossing through the center but you can add more if you want!

Step 4: Use other small objects to trace or create your own lines to make your design! Remember, your design should be repeated all the way around your circle!

Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper!

Directions: The links below are tutorials on different origami folds! Choose one video and follow along! Submit a photo of your origami to me either through Dojo, email or Google Classroom!

Make sure you pay attention to the shape of the paper before the folding begins! Most origami starts with a square sheet of paper but they make ask you to cut or tear the sheet before you fold! It is best to use a thinner paper like computer paper or notebook paper. You can also use wrapping paper or newspaper cut into a square to get some cool patterns or designs!
