I allowed my 5th Grade classes to vote on the big sculpture project this year and Mrs. DeGennaro's class was the only class to choose, Oaxacan Animal Sculptures, we started them today!
Oaxacca is a state in Southern Mexico that is known for producing these beautiful folk art sculptures!

5th Grade will be starting off the year with a project on One Point Perspective! We will begin by learning to draw a simple cube in One Point Perspective, and from there learning to create our initials in One Point Perspective! The fun of drawing in perspective is that you learn to transform a two dimensional shape into a three dimensional form!

5th Grade is starting the year off with an M.C.Escher inspired Tessellation project. The students began the project with a PowerPoint that introduced them to the artist M.C. Escher and the art of Tessellations. The students then created their own Pattern and added design details as well as color. They are turning out beautifully. I will post pictures as soon as they are finished!
