5th grade landscapes

These 5th graders do some incredible work!

Landscapes that show perspective, or the illusion of space, and show a personal interest. Students also used tempura and acrylic painting techniques. 

Some complete and other works in progress 

 

In the classroom

Been working on these with my amazing 3rd and 4th graders. 

In the classroom- Fourth grade abstract line

My Amazing 4th graders worked on abstract line drawings and came up with these beautiful works. 

In the classroom- Picasso Line Potraits

Been working on some portraits with my third grade. I got the idea of Picasso Inspired portraits from a awesome colleague of mine a few years back and have doing them ever since ( thanks Mrs. Noe) http://noeartstudio.blogspot.com/?m=1

But this year we focused on Line. Here is the PowerPoint, lesson samples and student work. I think they did a great job!
