Local Art Collaboration. Facilitated by the teacher, students connect with a high school art class to collaborate within a cloud-based platform on a digital work of art. Each student has the opportunity to contribute to the work of art.

The teacher can facilitate a class period where students rotate to different stations to explore a media more in depth, and include a digital art station in the rotation.

Students will explore with watercolor techniques and collage to design their own character for a book cover.  Through an artist study on artist Eric Carle, students will observe and identify shapes in animals and use their painted papers for a collage.

Students will research and plan for creating art while learning to visualize landscapes three-dimensionally.  Students will explore and experiment with three-dimensional paper techniques and depict elements in foreground, middle ground and background.
