Jackson Pollock Day

My 3rd graders have been working hard all year and I thought I would reward them with a Jackson Pollock Day of splatting paint on painted backgrounds. They used sticks, forks and objects we found in  the room. They had so much fun and learned about another Modern Artist.

Cubist Still-Life


As the years coming to an end I've been thinking about all the lessons I have done. My favorite lesson has to be the Romero Britto Cubist Still Lifes the 4th grade created. This lesson had a lot packed in. They experimented with color mixing, applying contrast with different color combinations, observational drawing and using pattern.
