Greetings from Scribbler!
Fifth and Sixth grade art students are up to their elbows in lines! Fifth grade learned the five directions lines travel (no, really, there are only five - and they all start with a point made by their pencils!) They are: horizontal, vertical, diagonal, zigzag, and curvilinear. Now, they are experimenting with how lines and colors can make the person viewing the artwork feel happy, or sad, or even scared! (Prepare to see some awesome artwork coming your way!)
Sixth grade reviewed the ways lines travel, and now they're working on an artwork using only black and white - they are finding it to be quite a challenge, but are rising to meet it! They looked at a work of art by Albrecht Durer, a German artist who lived and worked during the Renaissance. He was so talented, he was working as a commissioned artist by the age of 15!
Stay tuned for pictures as students finish their work!
Until then,
Respectfully submitted,
Scribbler
