Fifth graders meet once every four days for 45 minutes of art class. Here are some past example projects.
We have been working on backgrounds and props for our claymations. Basically, they are problem-solving, engineering, collaborating, creating and making a giant mess. I can hardly wait to watch them!
5th Grade Artists Create Large Scale Food Sculptures!
Using paper mache over a simple armature, 5th graders at BBES constructed large food sculptures in the spirit of Pop artist, Claes Oldenburg.
These were displayed at the District Fine Arts Festival.

Pueblo Pottery
Students learned about shading, light source and overlapping to create a realistic looking still life.
Pueblo Dwellings
5th Grade students learned about negative and positive space by creating a stencil for a chalk or oil pastel rubbing. This project was in conjunction with their social studies unit on Native Americans. I highly recommend taking your student to the Shingothe Museum at Aurora University to see the pueblo and kachina doll display. Next year we hope to go there for a field trip.
