This unit could definitely be done with younger grades, but I went more in depth with abstraction and creating mood in an artwork with 5th graders. I did it with this age because of the time I had with them (five classes) and they had just done something observational, so I wanted them to do something more hands-on. The artist example was Picasso (obviously) and on the first day, before any instruction, the students filled out a see, think, wonder worksheet about this artwork. They filled it out again on the last day for my evidence of student learning. On the first day, we talked about how color can be used to show mood and feelings in a work of art. I had the students pick a mood word from the bucket, which they had to paint non-objectively. Later, the students had to guess the mood that was painted. (From top left to bottom right: anxious, playful, mellow, jealous, angry, and gloomy). On the second day, the students learned about different ways to abstract an object. They made a few practice sketches (student example above). Then we talked about all the parts on a guitar (using my examples and my ukulele to help them visualize how I abstracted the different parts). Then, they made a larger sketch of what they wanted their final piece to look like (student example below). Lastly, they transferred their guitar's outline onto their final, large paper. On the third day, we talked about tints and shades. The students painted their guitar shape with either a tint or a shade of blue after practicing making a gradient. On the last two days we talked about monochromatic and mixed media artwork. Then they cut paper and news paper to create their guitar parts, adding their strings last. Then they filled out a self assessment and an artist statement about their guitar. Some student examples are pictured below.

Meaning Behind the Daruma Pendant The Daruma is a complex symbol in Japanese culture with a long history that makes it difficult to distinguish between legend and reality. Its design represents the monk Bodhidharma who is said to have lived between the 5th and 6th centuries CE. He began a quest of meditation for self-sacrifice and enlightenment by sitting towards a wall, staring and not blinking for nine years. The lack of limbs and wide eyes show Bodhidharma's immobility for this time; the facial hair imitates the shape of cranes and tortoises for longevity; the writing on the chest communicates luck and resilience. Daruma dolls are talismans of good fortune, far more significantly, of perseverance. Gold Daruma Solid 925 Sterling Silver with 3 Microns 18K Gold Plated Size Height -17mm Width - 8mm Length - 15mm Weight 10.25g :Amulet only chains not included: to complete the look add a Box Chain

Y'all....I'm so proud of these 5th graders! They're my first class of the day, and have been a joy to have in the morning. These past few weeks, we've been working on a project that I haven't tried in a few years, but I'm glad we visited it again! Thanks for the idea Mrs. Rogers! The students take their name, or name of choice, write it once and trace it 7 more times to create this neat and unique work of art! Here's how we created ours! Materials: Pencils Sharpies Crayola Markers or colored pencils 9x9" 50 or 60lb paper Day 1: I show examples of other 5th graders' work, and then I demonstrate how to make block and bubble letters. I used the leftover scraps from cutting their squares for them to practice making block letters on. After we practice, we fold our paper in half 4 times, and write our name in one of the triangle sections of the paper, and trace with a Sharpie. I then fold my paper, and trace my name on the next triangle. I trace that with a Sharpie, and I continue tracing and folding my paper different ways, until I get back to the original name. Once I get all of that traced with a Sharpie, I'm ready to color! Color each section at a time, using the same color to unify that layer. Keep coloring until yours looks like these amazing artists! (This took 2 45 minute art classes to complete) Here are some great works in progress! DISCLOSURE: LINKS TO PRODUCTS ARE AFFILIATE LINKS, WHICH MEANS I GET A SMALL COMPENSATION FOR SALES.
