Fifth grade art students found
inspiration from something very
familiar… their band instruments. At our school, all students are required to
take band in the fifth grade, so they have all been getting to know their new
instruments. In art class, students created observational drawings of their
instruments looking closely at small details, highlights, and shadows. As a
group, we talked about composition in relation to art, which is very similar to
composition in music. Students chose an open or a closed composition to feature
their instrument. They also made important decisions regarding the arrangement
of their subject to create a visually interesting composition. They drew their
final piece in sharpie, and then brought in some color using colored pencils.
Well done, fifth grade!
