5th Grade Mexican cacti!

5th graders thought about the vocab word genre and considered the multiple genres that are used in art history. We created out own still lifes with real cacti and drew them making sure to think about the art element of space and overlapping!  We utilized our blending skills and our talents with pattern and balance when designing our patterned pots.

3rd Graders have been learning about the art and culture of Mexico. We looked at how the Sun has been a prominent subject in their art. They used it in their ancient calendar, in festivals, holidays, home decor, etc. We created our own Mexican suns on circular cardboard and added a metallic face in the center. Last, we used Radial Symmetry to create warm colored patterns in the sun's rays!
