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.

After forming their robotic inventions from recycled materials, fifth grade students created an advertisement for their piece. We discussed different methods we could use to entice consumers to purchase our products and how they would function in real life.
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 will build a recycled sculpture model of their robots/machines to help people of the future!
Fifth grade has had an artist in residence come in multiple times and work with students in writing class on creating a play based off of am event in U.S. history. Students used cut paper to incorporate symbols to represent their show without revealing the ending!
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.
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 watercolors 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.

Students were inspired by the setting they chose or invented for their adventure stories from writing class for this unit! They drew their setting in different layers to simulate a silhouetted skyline and picked a color that best represented the mood or vibe of their location. Then they used paint to mix tints for the different layers to demonstrate atmospheric perspective in their skyline. Watercolors were used to create the right weather backdrop for their setting and layers were arranged with small pieces of cardboard to form a stacked relief!
