Fifth Grade -Shapes, Shading, and Ribbons-Mr. Strolberg's Class

The Fifth Graders continued to work on their shading and three-dimensional shape drawing project. In this post you can see examples of the project they worked on last week where they practiced shading by drawing ribbons and using a pencil to create the illusion of light and dark. Today, the Fifth Graders learned to draw three-dimensional shapes, shade them, and then rearrange those shapes to create correct human proportions.

Shape Shifting!

Fifth Graders have been studying how to make three dimensional shapes. The students have also been practicing their shading skills by shading the shapes. This week I showed a group of Fifth Graders how to rearrange those shapes to resemble a human body. We talked about correct proportions. After practicing one student modeled while the rest of the class drew him.

Welcome Back!

Summer break has ended and students are back at school. A new year of art classes have begun as well. This year all classes have started by decorating their art folder with a multi-media self-portrait.
