Fifth graders returned to art class after their exciting winter break full of stories about how they welcomed in 2014 with their friends and family. Our drawings of the New Year are as different as our traditions are at home. By listening to our friends' artist statements in class, we learned so much more about what they drew and why they made the creative choices that they did.
Many students created a colorful and very graphic looking design with the numbers. Anna not only created colorful numbers, but her entire page is a bright pattern of color! Maria filled her numbers with a scene of Times Square as the ball drops. It is such an busy and exciting time and she captured that moment in her drawing perfectly. Chloe's pencil sketch is of a scene in a painting she has at home and she turned the images of that scene into the numbers 2014. How amazing is that idea? Tatiana created a lovely design with color and explained how she made the airbrush effect of the background with a new art tool that she used at home. I am always so thrilled to hear about new and creative ways of working with color! Gianni received a scarf as a present over the break and his sketch is a copy of the scarf design. I love how he incorporated the year as a signature on the scarf. Haeun added a sketch of horse into her design since this will be the year of the horse as well as the year 2014. With such amazing and creative ideas coming from our fifth grade artists, I am sure we can all look forward to a wonderful year ahead.
HAPPY 2014 EVERYONE!
