5th grade did some work with abstraction and color theory with these watercolor trees. \u00a0They were inspired by Dutch artist, Piet Mondrian.<\/p>\n

\"CAM01604\"<\/a>Before we started the tree paintings, we made a basic color wheel. \u00a0Students mixed their primary (the circles) and secondary colors (the squares) together to create intermediate colors (the triangles).<\/p>\n

When they painted their trees, they were reminded to use colors that “got along well.” \u00a0Their color wheel helped with that task.<\/p>\n

\"CAM01603\"<\/a>\"CAM01600\"<\/a>\"CAM01610\"<\/a>\"CAM01599\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Though students used the same subject matter and technique, each tree was different and unique! \u00a0Art is cool like that \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n

5th grade also looked to Wayne Thiebaud with this lesson on value. \u00a0They needed to create a light, medium, and dark value with only their pencil for the outside of the cake.<\/p>\n

I have to stop doing lessons that involve food!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For the inside of the cake, they chose one color along with black to create a value scale of their chosen color.<\/p>\n

\"CAM01678\"<\/a>
Red velvet, perhaps?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And finally, we run into Roy Lichtenstein again through the use of\u00a0onomatopoeia.<\/em> \u00a0Onomatopoeia words are ones that sound like the thing they are describing. \u00a0Words like meow, boom, bang, zing, and quack!<\/p>\n

\"Check<\/a>
Check out the little ears and tail on “Meow.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Their word had to be done in block or bubble letters. \u00a0Students were allowed to use whatever colors they wanted for this project. \u00a0After 4th grades’ cityscapes, I did not want to see red, blue, and yellow for a while. \u00a0Hehe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
