TINTS AND SHADES - THEORY
5th grade students learned about HUE, TINTS, SHADES and TONES.
Hue: pure colour
Tint: hue + white
Shade: hue + black
Tone: hue + white + black
Students were able to choose a HUE and from there, they created their own tints, shades and tones.

WARM AND COOL COLOURS
Warm colours are red, yellows and oranges. Cool colours are blues, greens and purples.
5th grade choose warm or cool colours to create an African sunset or a night in the North Pole. They draw an animal silhouette, paint the paper warm or cool colours (mixing paint and water), let they paper dry and paint the silhouette black.
They did an amazing job!

PEOPLE SILHOUETTES
Unit 4 for 5th students is about patterns and doodles. To do this activity, we watched a Power Point presentation and we learnt some facts about Masai culture.
At the end of the activity I realised that the silhouettes were not only Masai but other african tribes.

CITY SKYLINE
There are a lot of types of landscapes: coast, mountains, river, lake, desert, town, cities...
In the last lesson of Art, 5th grade students drew a city skyline. To do this activity they followed some steps:
- Fold the paper
- Draw a city skyline on one half of the paper
- Trace it with wax crayons
- Fold the paper again and press (this action transfers the city skyline on the other half of the paper)
- Colour the landscape using ready-mixed paint mixed with water. Add extra water when colouring the reflection.

WINTER TREES
Last week, 5th grade students did another activity based on lanscapes.
They had to colour a winter lanscape using ready-mixed paint mixed with water (to make it watery).
Then, they had to "draw" the trees using a straw and brown watery ready-mixed paint. They had to blow and "make" the trees. Look at the pictures:

GUSTAV KLIMT FORESTS
Two weeks ago, 5th grade students started working on a new unit: LANDSCAPES. To start the unit, they did an activity based on Gustav Klimt forests.
To do this activity they followed some steps:
- They put sticky tape on the paper to make the trees.
- They coloured the sky and the ground using different colour combinations (spring forest, summer forest, autumn forest...)
- They took out the sticky tape.
- They coloured the trees using grey, brown or ocre.
And the result is...THIS!

COLOUR WHEEL
This activity is based on the colour wheel. We used ready-mixed paint to colour it and the result was amazing!
Students had to colour each section of the paper using a colour from the colour wheel. The important thing was that they had to colour the sections following the correct order!

WOLF KAHN - UNREALISTIC FORESTS
Wolf Kahn is a German painter who uses oils and pastels to create unrealistic coloured forests.
Using ready-mixed paint mixed with water and wax crayons 5th grade students did this:
They are ARTISTS!
Fast finishers had the opportunity to practise other techniques and create free style artworks:
