5th grade Work in DEPTH

Creating DEPTH on a two dimensional surface is a tricky thing. These 5th grade students worked through the process of making things look farther away.

5th grade learning about Complements.

In this project, 5th grade students were reviewing COMPLEMENTARY COLOR. Those are colors that are OPPOSITE in nature and placed OPPOSITE each other on the color wheel.

The value of teaching VALUE!

Teaching these 5th grade students about how to use VALUE in their drawings is so much fun. They are amazed at what they are able to do to create the illusion of three dimension. Learning to take drawings to a higher level of realism helps to teach students to observe in greater detail. When making them think about how light and shadow move around a 3-D form, you are helping them to better understand the mathematics of Geometry.
