4th, 5th and 6th Grade Art

We have begun a sculptural project based on the assemblage work of Louise Nevelson. The students watched a short video and a presentation of several images of her work while making note of the compositions and materials used in her art work. We talked about the negative space created with her assemblages, the use of black, white or gold color in her work and the relationship of shapes and layers in her art. All the students had lessons on the drill press, the scroll saw and the belt sander in the Maker Space. They are beginning to gather wood materials to create their assemblage sculpture. The 6th grade class has the option of working on a free standing sculpture, all the other students will work within a set scale to create their work. If you happen to buy any clementine oranges in the wooden boxes, please save the boxes for the art program.
