Seriously - I hope they loved learning about these artists as much as I did!
2nd grade has been learning about the Brazilian artist Romero Britto. First we painted 4 various textures on 4 colored squares. (lines, dots, etc..) using all kinds of tools to make the textures. Then we studied his peacock, heart or cat and drew them with BIG, BOLD, BRITTO, BLACK outline. We colored them in with even more patterns before gluing the whole thing together. Aren't they great?
Third grade learned about Keith Haring and complementary colors. They learned how to draw a "Haring figure" by drawing a stick man and then outlining it. They then chose a complementary color background to make the project POP!
Forth grade studied Wayne Theibaud and his dessert paintings. We began by learning about values of color and made 3 tints by adding white. We then cut out those values into scoops of ice cream and glued them on in order from light to dark. We put them on their complementary color background as well. To finish it off - we added a pom pom "cherry" on top and puffy paint sprinkles!
Fifth grade helped out the school with our superhero theme! They learned about pop artist Roy Lichtenstein and made onomatopia art using the primary colors.
