5th Grade Project: Line, Color, and Shape

The 5th grade began this particular project by working with each element individually in their sketch books before combining them into their final project.

We divided their sketchbook pages into 4 sections: section 1 was for notes, section 2 was to practice a continuous line, section 3 was used to create a composition using circles, squares and triangles, and section 4 was for our color families.

After completing the first for sections, we then took our composition from section 3 and moved it into section 1 over our continuous line, we then used our color families to color the lines in our shapes.  This gave students a sneak preview of the final product.

Now armed with some experience, students tackled the full-size paper.  We first filled our pages with a continuous line.

Once the pages were covered in our single, continuous lines we began adding shapes and then color.

This is a beautiful project, it does take time, but as you can see the results are well worth the effort.
