Watch this video to learn the story behind Munch's painting:
5th graders studied the art of Edvard Munch and his famous painting, "The Scream." Students then drew their faces screaming with excitement or fear. They brainstormed and sketched scenarios that could cause them to scream. They were encouraged to think outside the box and choose a situation specific to them. Students colored their drawings using mediums of their choice.

Fifth graders studied the difference between appropriation and parody and how it relates to art. Each class looked at a variety of parodies that were inspired by influential artwork throughout history. The students were asked to create an original parody for the painting Girl with the Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer. Using sources from the internet and a line drawing of the famous painting, each student drew and painted a person of their choice in the legendary pose. CLICK HERE to see student work. Fifth grade students learned about a group of contemporary ceramicists and current ceramic tends. We looked closely at the artist Carrianne Hendrickson, shown above. Student started their piece with a pinch then using the slip and score method added features and textures to turn their pot into an animal of their choice. CLICK HERE to see more student work. Students were shown clips from the show Treehouse Masters to inspire their own tree house design. Students learned the rules of two-point perspective and using t-squares, rulers, and vanishing points they created their house. Then each student was on their own to add original details and something to hold up their building, still making sure to follow the rules to two-point perspective. Students added color to their project using any medium or combinations of mediums to color their work. Click here for more student work.
5th graders examined the process of printmaking and Gyotaku or fish printing. Students looked up different fish species and chose one to draw, making sure to include extreme detail and texture. Students transferred their drawings to printing foam and used their knowledge of composition to print and arrange their fish in a visually interesting way.

5th graders looked at the artwork of artist/animator/director/producer Tim Burton. They discussed the feelings that his artwork evoked and how these feeling might relate to the artist. I showed the video below and then we compared his personality to the adjectives used to describe his work. They were able to see the parallels between the artist and his artwork. Each student then created a design for their own monster that they believed reflected their personality, likes and feelings. Finally using felt, fabric glue and a needle and thread each student created their own stuffed monster. Check out the final designs here: https://goo.gl/xRyuP4
Third grade students started by looking at famous examples of non-objective abstract art.
Then class created abstract sketches while listening to three rock songs. The students were to represent the music through line, shape, color and design. They picked their favorite drawing and used it to create a painting by mixing oil pastels and watercolors. Finally, the 3-5 students collaged their hands on top using the Green Screen iPad app. The final pieces will be hung up during Rock N Roll cosmic bowling in February!
