ArTechTivity (TM)

In the second week of September we learned about Animals in Art. Using our textbook, a slideshow of examples and class discussion we prepared ourselves to create some animal art.

• We learned how artists have been using animals as subjects since the early cave paintings.
• We discussed how artists can show MOOD in a piece of art. Some of the examples included humor, anticipation, dreamy, playful and sad.
• We learned how artists will use EMPHASIS in a painting to make one part more important than other parts. They can use LINE, COLOR or SHAPE to draw your eye to the important part.

In 6th grade art we will study the elements of ART including COLOR!
