Fifth Grade - Unit 1 - Tropical Scenes

Focus of Project:  Line variety, movement and value in a work of art.

5th Graders learned about a current young artist from Hawaii, Coleen Wilcox.  Wilcox creates amazing paintings and design for surf boards and draws inspiration for her work from the beautiful tropical environment where she lives. The students observed how she combines the elements of art to create movement and unity within her work.  Their challenge was to create an underwater scene by also making careful choices of the elements of art to also create movement and unit within their own work. I think our students did an amazing job with these!
