Fifth grade student-artists in Ms. Dougherty’s class at South Bay Elementary School are learning all about analogous colors. The students recently created relief dragon eye sculptures. They are taking an in-depth look at color theory and how to mix colors using Model Magic. The unit, which focused on sculpture and impression, paired with their lessons on medieval drawings. When their sculptures were complete, the students mounted them on a frame for the upcoming annual art show.
