5th Grade Color Experts
The next project is a big one, but scholars need to know the basic and the not-so-basic aspects of color. Students must know that the Primary Colors (RED, YELLOW & BLUE) create the Secondary colors (Green, Violet and Orange).The Tertiary colors are (Yellow-green, Blue-green, Blue-violet, Red-violet, Red-orange and Yellow-orange). YOU SHOULD SEE A PATTERN HERE (look at how it is written!). The Tertiary Colors start with the primary color, have a hyphen and then have the secondary color because it's a mixture with different ratios. If you are noticing a lot of math terms, it's not a fluke! Art and Math are buddies!
We start on the new project this week. If you have any questions, please email Ms. Hillman: jhillman@cpcsschool.org.

| Ai Wei Wei |
Ai Wei Wei was one of the inspirations for the Social Action Poster Project. Nina Simone's "Mississippi Goddamn" was another call for social action, and FAMU scholars were exposed to this amazing song.
Scholars had to include Text and Imagery to get their audiences' attention. Scholars will be working on their essays to further explain their thinking and process in creating their work. Essays will be typed and will have time to do so in class. The criteria for the essay is below:
Social Action Poster Project Response

Cover all of these points in
your essay:
q What is your connection to the issue in your
poster? What about the issue inspired
you?
q What does this art mean? Why did you choose certain
elements of your poster (why did you choose to draw/collage/paint your poster)?
q How does your poster convey the message you are trying
to send? BE SPECIFIC and give examples.
q What did you enjoy about the project? What would you change about the project?
Formats you can use:
Free-form essay
Persuasion piece
(argumentative essay like a letter to the Mayor or opponents to the issue)
