5th Grade Pop Art

5th Grade just finished up their project on Pop Art and advertising. They looked at images of creative advertising and ways that ads can be art. Then they chose 3 personal items to draw. They used colored pencil and sharpie to give the pictures a pop. Attached to their images are 3 Art Elements to describe the images.

4th Grade Culture

4th Grade Culture at Stratmoor Hills Standards: 1.3.b Explore and discuss culturally sensitive themes 2.1. b Participate in critiques which analyze the elements of art 3.1.d Create a work of art based on specific themes of personal interest Students viewed and discussed street art and how it relates to culture. Then, as a class, we brainstormed words that describe the culture here at Stratmoor Hills Elementary. Students then painted a textured background and placed a skyline over the top. The final step was to write the words to describe our marvelous school over the top of the buildings. The final product gives a simple and accurate description of our school culture at Stratmoor Hills Elementary!
