Welcome To My 5th Grade Art Page!
5th Grade is represented by the color Purple. This is because it is the last color in the rainbow! There are 6 colors in the rainbow. Just like there are 6 grades in Elementary School and 5th Grade is the last grade. 5th graders are given some special assignments that are exclusive to their grade. Such as being able to design their yearbook cover. Which we will get to later.
Our topic for our 5th Grade year is Identity. Identity is defined as the fact of being who or what a person or a thing is. With my more advanced students, currently 5th Graders, we focus on this topic in our curriculum. Artists often make work that discusses, represents, or questions, someone or somethings' identity.
Before we begin please note that pictures of all finished works need to be posted to Artsonia before they can be graded! This is our way of documenting each students' work and progress in their own portfolio from Kindergarten up until 12th Grade! More information about Artsonia can be found under the Artsonia tab of this website.
If you are interested in seeing more examples of the projects below they can also be found by visiting your schools' artsonia website.
Now that you know, let's get stARTed!
Introduction: Day 1
During the 1st day we have together in class:
- I will teach the students how to find their assignment page here, and make sure they know how to join google classroom where announcements may be posted.
- We will go over the Introduction PowerPoint by grade. This contains the rules and expectations, and our theme for the year. Students will create a drawing of what they think the theme means and then we will discuss it together during critique time.
- I will begin passing out artwork from last year. Because of COVID I will only be collecting work on Artsonia this year. I will not be collecting artwork for an in-person art show.
-Homework for the next time we meet: If you haven't done so, join your Google Classroom for art, and get parent permission on Artsonia. (I will be passing out permission slips for any students that still need permission from parents for their work to be viewable by others.) Here is the PowerPoint in case you wish to review any information. If there are any questions, please feel free to email me! Thank you, and do your best this year!
