      As a first step the 5th grade students used masking tape for their tree trunks. They used the wet on wet watercolor technique to create the background for their autumn landscapes. After the background was dry they pulled off the tape and added shadows and marks for the birch bark. Tempera paint and cotton swabs were used for the leaves

     The students started off their project learning about Perspective drawing in Art, making a two dimensional drawing appear three dimensional. They focused on Linear Perspective and they practiced drawing boxes using One Point Perspective.  They used this new skill to draw a dog house.  The last step was to use step by step sheets to help them draw a dog.

     The 5th grade students learned about Zentangles, which are repeated patterns and designs.  The students learned that there are no mistakes when making zentangles and they learned if they did make a “mistake” they just had to make it work with their design.  To help them appreciate that creating zentangles can be a form of meditation, they worked in silence while listening to relaxing sounds and music.
