5th Graders Art Central Lesson: Artist Tools

Fifth Graders are exploring all different types of artist media, or materials, in preparation for their first Blanton Art Central field trip. During this lesson, students used four different types of media - pencil, oil pastel, watercolor, and collage - on the same subject matter - a cone. Drawing the cone four different times, then using different media on each drawing allowed students to compare and contrast the materials used instead of the subject matter of their artwork. Now they are excited and ready for their field trip on Tuesday, October 21st.
