Recycled Arts Club "Unfield" trip to the Amazeum

Thank you Amazeum team for a fun experience! We had a great time exploring the different stations and spending time with your play facilitators!

If you haven't had a chance to visit the Amazeum, definitely make it a priority. Check out this link here:

Take a look at some pictures from our trip (and some cool videos!):

One of the stations we got to experience were "tiny drawings." Students were given a small piece of paper and used a stereoscope to view our drawings through. The very last picture is an actual image of what it looks like to draw through a stereoscope.

5th Grade Color Wheel Project

Below are a few samples from a recent color study project completed by our 5th graders. We studied the color wheel and different color relationships and painted designs on paper.
The students were invited to draw single or multiple objects or shapes on their paper before painting.
They also learned about color mixing and technical skills.

6th Grade Tree Theme Projects

This was a choice-based project where the students were to create an artwork based on a theme. Trees were the theme for this project and the students had three full classes to choose and explore materials and create a Tree.
They had a choice to draw, paint, or make a 3D model. Since choice was a strong element during project, students were encouraged to work on a area where they felt strongest. This was a good confident builder. It was also awesome to see students learn by trying materials and techniques in which they knew nothing about.
Below are some pretty cool samples!

5th Grade: Drawing, Drawing, & Drawing!

Wow, 5th graders love to draw! We are about to move into our painting unit soon but Old High 5th graders have been busy over the past month learning about drawing and gaining confidence with their individual abilities.
We started out the year with cartooning and learning how to create interesting characters with simple shapes. Below are some samples of our cartoon knights.
We have moved into Mondrian inspired drawings. There are a couple pictured below and I will be sure to post more soon.
