For our first project in Unit 1: Art is a Language, fifth graders will be studying the art of illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages. Students will explore the value of illuminated manuscripts in books in the past, and discover how letter-art has developed and changed throughout the ages to become modern-day logos. Students will use the elements and principles of art to create their own "logos". We will use a variety of media from colored pencils to watercolor paints.
