Hello 4th Grade! To help you this week, I have changed the "background color" for each project choice, so the videos and text for the first project choice will be a different color than the second project choice.
Students: There is audio to play for text. You may read or listen and watch.
Parents & Guardians, this should be an independent art lesson for your child. Please let me know if there is anything more I should do to make art lessons more accessible for your child and easier for you in this new way of teaching and learning. Above all we want our students to feel joy creating, and feel confident in their problem solving and artistic choices.

Important: I just discovered that Chrome works better than Safari for viewing some of the videos.
4th Grade: Form 2nd Week
You may read, or listen.
Last week you learned about Visual Form. Over this week, 4th grade students will continue working on the element of art “FORM” except this time you will be creating three dimensional form (or you have the choice of further exploring 2D form!) If you have questions, submit a question on google classroom to your art teacher. Please submit (or have your parents submit) a photo, or photos, of your sculpture through your Google Art Room account.

Artists can create Visual Form (last week you used value, light, highlights and shadows to create the illusion of form.) Circles became spheres. Rectangles became cylinders. You practiced drawing forms. This week you will be building a sculpture that HAS actual FORM! (You will also have the choice to continue exploring Visual Form.) Have you seen a sculpture? There is one outside Hingham Town Hall, and many at museums. Some sculptors use wood, marble, steel, and/or paper! This is a photo of me sculpting in wood (I was about 16 years old.) Artists use special tools and materials when they create. I was using a sharp chisel and a mallet. I began with a part of a tree trunk, bark and all. This was so much fun to sculpt! Maybe when you are older you will be able to create a large sculpture as well. |
