Using linear perspective, 5th graders learned how to create the illusion of space. We created a horizon line, vanishing point, and used vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines to create the buildings. The cities came alive with details and watercolors. Project from Deep Space Sparkle.

Students that finished early had the opportunity to create a spooky spider web. First, they drew a web on their white paper using a white crayon. It was challenging to see what they were drawing! A spider was added using a black crayon. Cool color watercolors were painted right over the top of their drawing and their web and spider appeared! This is called wax-resist.  Buffalo Elementary 5th graders are participating in the St. Ambrose "Make it Big IV" event. We received a 32" x 36" piece of linoleum. Professor Joseph Lappie came to Buffalo for a demonstration on the carving process. Each student created an image that represented a future goal and transferred their image to the piece of linoleum using carbon paper. Using linoleum cutters, the students carved out their design. Our linoleum was rolled with ink and printed by the drum roller at St. Ambrose. You are invited to come to the steamroller event from 10:30-11:30 am this Saturday, October 24 at the Galvin Fine Arts Center (map below). See the 5th grade students ink their linoleum and watch the big drum roller print it!
