Fifth graders used the adventure story from their writing class or a place they have been before as inspiration for their illustrated settings. Using colored pencils, students drew their setting from one-point perspective and were able to describe their work using vocabulary such as vanishing point, perpendicular lines, horizon line, foreground, and depth.

Fifth graders were inspired by coat of arms and family crests from the medieval time period as they brainstormed ways how to represent themselves using visual symbols. Using clay, they sculpted at least two different personal symbols that represented them and used tempera paint to add color.
Fifth grade took some time to really train their eyes and hands to work together. Drawing from observation like a scientist, students focused on composition, proportion, and value. We then looked at surreal artwork for inspiration for a color background.
Fifth grade drew inspiration from various cultures across the globe when developing their mandala. Mandalas are usually spiritually based and demonstrate radial symmetry. Using colored pencils, students created their own mandalas that represented themselves and kept in mind how sometimes in art, the process is as rewarding as the product.
Fifth grade reflected on some part of their school community for their printmaking project. We were inspired by artists that use symbols and images to represent their culture or community and we designed for Chevy Chase or some facet of it. Using Styrofoam relief print making, designs were drawn backwards on our printing plates to account for reflection when printing. We have two different printing days and then mounted our best two with an artist statement describing our design. We will also be making a grade-wide mural with every student's print for the spring.
Welcome to the design studio! Fifth graders have been talking about robotics in their science class and are taking an innovative leap off of what they already know. Students first experimented with their recycled materials available: toilet paper rolls, masking tape, egg cartons, pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, and paper. Then they built a recycled sculpture model of their robots/machines to help people of the future!

To encourage a sense of community in the classroom, fifth grade has been working collaboratively at their table to design a poster with purpose. The overall theme for our posters was inspiration/motivation.
