It's finally warm and sunny, and we're finally done with testing!! HOOORAAAYY!! We have the beautiful outdoors, Spring/Summer, and Mother's Day on our minds right now! Why not mix a little Picasso in there too? You could do this with any grade, but I chose to try it with 3rd grade this week. It only took one 45 minute class! Here's how we created our own. Materials: Crayola Watercolors Sharpie Markers Ticonderoga Pencils Crayola Oil pastels Sax 90lb multi use paper 9x12" First, I show them an example of the painting we're getting inspiration from. I talk about Picasso, discuss where he is from, and how I was able to see his art in Spain when I studied abroad in Madrid. (UH-mazing) I show them examples of his earlier work, and how realistic they were. Then, I told them about a quote he said. " It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child. I explained to them we weren't trying to be perfect, that we were just going to keep it simple! We did a directed drawing together of the hands. They trace their hands with Sharpie marker, and then added stems with green oil pastels. Then I demoed how to paint ovals for the middles and contrasting colors for the petals. Easy, Fun, and Simply Beautiful! Here's a video, showing how we drew ours! Here's my sweet students hard at work and some finished masterpieces! Mrs. Torres' class Ms. Campbell's class Here's some fabulous 1st graders trying it too!

Inspired by the paper collages created by Henri Matisse, this lesson transforms the realistic image of a leaf through the use of color and shape. Complementary colors, Geometric Shape, and Organic Shape are the art terms that will be taught and implemented during the production of this collage project. Information about Matisse, the art of paper Collage, and Fauvism will be introduced to the students through two separate articles. This lesson is a simple collage lesson that will produce beautiful results which will be perfect for autumn. A detailed lesson plan is included which outlines National Core Visual Arts Standards, Lesson Objectives, Vocabulary with definitions, a Material List, as well as a detailed Teaching Procedure for each instructional day. The PDF slides are quite inclusive and detail vocabulary, definitions, instructions, and clear photos that show the progression of the lesson step-by-step. A Project Reflection handout has been included to allow the students the opportunity to review their artistic experience as well as facts pertaining to Matisse and art vocabulary. Preparing for this lesson will take very little time. Print enough copies of the student handouts and organize the art supplies needed for each day. (The material list includes basic art supplies such as construction paper, pencils, erasers, glue, and scissors.) Project the PDF presentation during class time and guide the students through each step of the lesson. An arrangement of the student's completed complementary color leaf collages certainly will make for a colorful fall bulletin board display. NOTE: This PDF presentation is non-editable
