4th Grade - Symmetrical Jack-O-Lanterns

Our Jack-O-Lanterns are symmetrical.  They are exactly the same on both sides.  

We used exaggerated facial features to create many emotions.  They are happy, sad, scary, goofy, amused and just plain strange. J  

Did you know that you can make any image symmetrical by only drawing one side?  Ask a 4thgrader to show you how!

5th Grade- "Bad Hair Day" Patterns

We used exaggeration to create these big-haired portraits.

We used repetition and patterns to make the hair interesting.


We also learned about warm, cool and neutral colors.


Did you know that if you cut the color wheel in half, one side will have all the warm colors and the other will be cool?










Here is a cool video featuring a musical arrangement from Raymond Scott, a famous composer of electronic video game and 'cartoon' music. Notice the patterns in the music, as well as the patterns in the artwork on the video.
