Fifth Grade

Program Overview

Ahoy there, Matey's! The theme for fifth grade is A Journey Under the Sea! There are 13 projects on this fun and educational DVD, and each one relates to the wondrous world of the ocean. This year we will focus on reinforcing previously learned skills and building up new art principles and concepts, such as sketching, painting, sculpting, and printmaking. The projects are challenging for young creative minds but include step-by-step instructions for parents. We will even visit a professional artist's studio and take an exciting trip to an aquarium! So join us on our artistic voyage, where you'll "sea" how art can really come alive!
