FIFTH GRADE . . . Winter personalities!

Fifth Graders celebrated the beginning of a snowy month by drawing a snowman in their sketchpads. The challenge was to give the snowman their personality. This meant animating the snowman, showing it doing something that the artist likes to do.

If you were a snowman, wouldn't you like to sing, play soccer or play the drums? Here are a few of our snowy friends in 5th grade who enjoy doing just that! To see all of our snowmen drawings, check out this link to our sketchpad assignments for December in Artsonia.com.   http://www.artsonia.com/schools/school.asp?id=114839

    In my class, students are given the chance to explore different materials and fun new techniques as they develop their signature style. Some young artists love to draw with a pencil, some like to paint on canvas or create images in a digital format, while others prefer working with clay and molding three-dimensional forms. In my classroom, we use a variety of materials allowing all artists to experiment and figure out which type of art they like the best. At Ranney School, we place a strong emphasis on originality and celebrate artistic differences, always nurturing and encouraging the imagination of every student.
