5th grade students spent some time learning about different art movements throughout history; Surrealism, Cubism, Impressionism, Fauvism, Regionalism, Pointillism and Pop Art. The students were able to choose one movement to study in more detail. They learned about the artists who started the movement and the characteristics which made the movement unique. Students were then taught the basics of drawing a self portrait. Each student is adding their own characteristics, as well as, the characteristics of the art movement they have chosen. They are also able to choose from a variety of art materials; colored pencil, watercolor paint, oil pastel, marker, or a combination. This project will extend into Library Science and their own classroom. Students will research their chosen movement in more detail and create a written piece in their classrooms. This is a great cross curricular project. Students will then get to view the art movements they've been researching when they visit the Philadelphia Art Museum in June!
