Inflatable art is a form of contemporary art. The 5th graders are not creating inflatable art per se, but are constructing sculptures that look similar to inflatable art. Jeff Koons is a popular modern artist that also created sculptures to resemble inflatable art. The themes of his artwork were typically based on things that made him happy and were important to him. To learn more about Jeff Koons and his inflatable art click here. The 5th graders had to choose an object that brings them joy, or represents who they are for their sculptures. The Inflatable Art exhibition at the Elmhurst Art Museum will give the students further ideas for their projects.
Last year in 4th grade, the current 5th graders learned all about museums. They spent time virtually visiting museums, learning about the roles of people within a museum, and even curated and hosted their own Windsor Art Museum gallery opening. This year, the 5th graders finally get to go to an art museum to see everything they learned about first-hand. Not only will they get to visit a museum, but they will also have the opportunity to see an exhibition related to our current project.

The 5th graders have been working really hard to master advanced surface qualities through the use of their ebony pencil. After drawing, adding details, and shading their selfie-portraits, the 5th graders spent time assessing their skills and making goals for themselves for improvement.
If you are in Windsor during the next few weeks, check the display case near the office. Slowly but surely the 5th grade action figures will be filling it with their extravagant poses.
The 5th graders have been learning about perspective in art class. After some activities on the Smartboard, the 5th graders used their new knowledge to draw their own cities using one-point perspective. It was a lot of hard work, but once the hard part was over the students began to get very creative.
If you happen to be at Windsor, make sure you take a peek in the display case outside the office. The 5th graders finished their graphic design journal covers and they are on display!
The 5th graders have been working hard, and are just about done making their journals. |
