Grade 5

The fifth grade art students have completed two spectacular art works so far this marking period.

For the first project they learned about the artist Vincent Van Gogh and the type of art he made.  Using oil pastels the students created a replica of a painting called the olive trees.  They learned some new techniques using some different mediums, oil pastels, chalk pastels and watercolor pencils.  The projects were a great success.

The second project was a big hit with the students.  We discussed book making and each student made their very own miniature notebook.  We used cardboard, post-it-books, decorative paper, and embossing stamps to create a one of a kind book.  The students really enjoyed themselves and each one was successful.
