To begin, the students will be introduced to the artwork and the life of Paul Cezanne. Cezanne painted a range of different subjects during his career, including: landscapes, still life and portraits.The students will understand the importance of a still life and how to construct a successful composition. They then set up their own still life using autumn inspired objects and create a line drawing using their knowledge of composition. The students then complete a color value chart using pencils and colored pencils. Color value is very important when it comes to drawing images from life. Color value is the technique of using a color from dark to light or light to dark to make make the image look more realistic. Using this technique, students use color value to color in their still life as well as shading to make a 2D image into a more realistic 3D image. They then will use chalk pastels to create a background to the still life drawings. They will then complete a writing assignment in the form of a poem that will describe what the season autumn means to them.

ART WORDS:
Color Value:
the range from a color from light to dark

Students started the year by discovering themselves through art through creating the cover of a sketchbook. The students created a drawing of themselves through the use of a symbolic self-portrait. They will use the space of the cover to create a drawing of all the things they love in the effort to describe who they are as a person. This drawing will be used as the cover of their sketchbooks in which all note, sketches, writings and free draws will be stored throughout the entire year. By the end of the school year, the students will be able to take this sketchbook home to use as reference the following year in 6th grade.
