Graffiti Art

5th grade left their mark by creating a graffiti style project. We first watched a video about Graffiti and discussed if it’s art or vandalism. Then students assembled a brick wall, adding highlights and shadows to the bricks giving the illusion of a 3D surface.  

 

Afterwards students practiced and drew a word using block style lettering. Then they painted their word, outlined and added additional details if needed, before cutting it out  and gluing it onto their brick wall background.

Paper Collage

Inspired by artist Henri Matisse, 3rd graders “painted with scissors” meaning they only used scissors and glue to create paper collages.
