FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS AND EXPECTATIONS
Fifth graders spend more time on their art projects than children in younger grades and can develop their projects in stages. They enjoy learning skills and techniques that can make their artwork look more realistic and detailed. They can focus on a variety of art subjects and are eager to experiment with different artistic styles, especially bold contemporary art styles. In addition to the lessons provided here, keep challenging students with new techniques, new styles and a balanced variety of projects. Add more 3D lessons of clay and ceramics projects and continue encouraging the habit of keeping a sketchbook.
