Using either their individual character they designed or the one they created with their table, students created their own comic book cover based off of an adventure they thought up. Students had to consider how to visually represent a story, what features to emphasize, and how typography used in their title affected their composition. There's quite a cast of characters!

Each table collaboratively designed a legendary character together out of different personal heroes. Then, they had to come together as a group and decided who at each table would have which jobs for a fashion show that imitated their character's outfit. Tables chose a model, a photographer, a material manager, and worker bees. Each table was given the same materials of yarn, a coffee filter, newspaper, and foil. Each group worked the runway and learned how to manage time together as a team!
Inspired by Phil Hansen and Andy Goldsworthy, students discussed what counts as art and if process is more important than the finished product. They then worked in small groups and used materials in the art room to create non-permanent works of art. A photo was taken and then the work was dismantled!
Fourth grade looked to the future for this assignment! Students selected a piece of technology from this time period that could be representative of our culture and pretended an excavation was conducted in the future and found our things! Students illustrated some form of communication to show how people would learn about their discoveries and could also include how it is different in the future.
Fourth grade looked at various places and cultures for inspiration for their mask design including Africa, Japan, Venice, and Native Americans. With a specific purpose for it in mind, students used chipboard to layer facial features to create their relief mask and finished them off with tempera paint!
Fourth grade is getting their hands dirty forming clay! After looking at some cultural influences in ceramic containers, students formed a pinch pot as their base then rolled and attached coils for the rest. Our challenge was to see how different our containers could look while all using coils!
Fourth graders were inspired by various abstract artists such as Piet Mondrian, Joan Miró, and Yayoi Kusama for their designs. We discussed the role of balance, symmetry, and a variety of lines and shapes play in their artwork. Students then glued yarn on to cardboard to create a relief of their design and embossed thick foil over top to make it pop out. We used colored sharpies on top to complete our works of art.
Fourth grade got reflective! Students examined their features in the mirror to create a self-portrait that had an interesting facial expression. We then discussed how color can reflect mood and they selected a color that went with their facial expression. Using only tints of that color, they painted themselves and learned about warm and cool colors to complete their background.
