Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles

The fifth grade students have finished up making bubbles using chalk.  The effect is very realistic when they keep control of the chalk, add color and add a shine to them.

Back up and running

Grade 5 drawing coral.  The fifth graders drew coral by observing actual pieces.  They will eventually transfer these drawings to a piece of foam.  They will use that foam drawing to create a print of their coral drawings.

Op art

This student has really challenged herself in this example of Op art.  She has blended 2 different illusions and has worked very hard to make both work together.

Op Art

The fifth grade has been working on optical illusion art or "op art."  This type of artwork is very challenging.  Many of the concepts are very advanced but the fifth graders are taking it in stride.  You can see the results of their hard work and comprehension in these 2 samples.

Creating Depth With Perspective

The fifth graders are working on creating scenes using one point perspective. They are using acrylic paints to color the picture after, but they where only allowed to use one hot color to paint their picture. 

Aztec suns

In fifth grade we talked about bi-lateral an radial symmetry.  The students were asked to create a sun on black construction paper while keeping in mind radial symmetry. They were also asked to create a face within their design.  The face had to be bi- laterally symmetrical. They then used metallic colored pencils and special gel markers to color in and enhance the sun design.

Fine arts evening photos

We had a succssesful Fox Hill Fine Arts Evening.  I hope all of the parents enjoyed seeing all of the student work.  I will be sending home all of the work in the next few weeks.  Be prepared to see it come home.

Reminder: 

The Fox Hill Arts Night is next week.  Wednesday May 7th @ 6:00.  Come see the artwork, hear the music and visit the book fair.

The Scream

Fifth grade is finishing up everything for the Fox Hill Arts Night.  These are works based on The Scream by Edvard Munch.

Snowy, sleepy town

Fifth graders are finishing up a black and white picture.  Their assignment was to draw a sleepy snowy town.  They then had to paint the picture using only black and white.  We talked about shadow and shading prior to painting.  Each student practiced in pencil first in their sketch books.
