3/16


Well, Kiddos... I was just as jacked as you were about digital art!  So I'm going to be sad for about one more day and then decide to just get over it for a bit...

This week's theme was pattern making!
Across each grade, we took a lesson and simply advanced ourselves on it.
Since you are at home... I want to make this be simple BUT I also want this to be creative for you.

Grade 5 Succulents Designs

Overview of Native American pottery.
Historically, the art of making and use of Native American pottery has been one of the
important identifying characteristics of the Southwestern Indian Pueblos, past and
present, from as far back as 300 B.C., when pottery first appeared among the Mogollon.




We will look at an example of southwest pattern designs.
You are able to be influenced by the images or create your own.

Succulents 
They can thrive in cracks and crevasses, rockeries and sandy or gritty soils.
How resilient is that!


Handouts to review all sorts of succulents:
Variety.
Texture.
Overlapping.

Lets have some fuN!

A wild guy that began a movement of motion based on simple lines and solid shapes.2- Keith Haring

Haring moved to New York City in 1980 when he was just 20 years old to attend college at the School of Visual Arts. This was an exciting time to live in New York City because a lot of exciting things were happening in the art world. Haring was excited to be a part of it all, but because he didn't have a lot of money, he could not go see artwork he loved in the big museums and galleries. Haring thought this was unfair and believed that art should belong to everyone and that it should be free to the public. This inspired Haring to begin creating his artwork places where everyone could see, like the subway and on sides of building. Soon, people began to take notice of his fun, cartoony style and he became one of the most famous artists of his time!
