Hey, kids! I'm just back from a FABULOUS conference in Texas that was seriously a whirlwind of fun. I'll be certain to share that experience with you soon but before I do, I thought I'd let you in on how that Romero Britto-inspired selfie project went down. In a word(s): colorfully amazing! I've been sharing with you a ton of self portrait projects of late as that's what I'm sending away to be framed for our Artome art show. In case you missed, check out the Royal First Grade Self-Portraits, Second Grade Super Hero Selfies and the Third Grader's Sandra Silbertzweig Portraits. I wanted my fourth graders to learn how to draw a face with correct proportions but with a playful and colorful twist that reflects their personality and interests. And that's how I settled on this Romero Britto-inspired lesson. Complete video'ed lesson here: By the way, I update my videos multiple times weekly...if you wanna stay up to date, subscribe here. The video provides a quick introduction to Britto and his work, just enough to give them a taste for how colorful and pattern-y his work is. The kids really respond well to learning about contemporary artists and pop art seems to be their fave. This project took us 3 one hour classes to complete. The students used 9" X 12" sheets of drawing paper as that is what the Artome framing format allows. On our first day, we watched the first third of the video. We drew our faces along with the video, traced over our final drawings in Sharpie (I gave the kids plenty of time to return to their seats with mirrors and alter their drawings to their liking) and used lines to break up the background. Here's what we had after day one: The following art class, we watched the middle portion of the video where I chat about pattern. I really wanted the kids to create patterns that reflected their interests. I did provide idea sheets of simple patterns like the ones Britto uses. After 30 minutes, we watched the final portion of the video and had just enough time to explore color. Here are the results after the second day: By the third day, we'd watched all of the video and knew what we had to do to complete our masterpiece. I really thought this would be a two-day project...but with all of the details the kids created, it lasted a pinch longer. We used both colored pencils and Prismacolor Art Stix (a class favorite for their vibrancy) to color. Art Stix are like the lead of colored pencils in oil pastel from. They are richer in color than your average colored pencil. I talk about them somewhere in this clip: Sorry, not sure when, but I know they are in this clip somewhere! The kids and I both were really pleased with their hard work. So often, older kids struggle with self-portraits as they want them to look "just right". Doing a self-portrait in a guided drawing format really relieved stress and insured that all selfies looked fabulous. You know that the 10 year old crowd can sometimes be tough to please...but this one was a crowd-pleaser. Even my students who sometimes struggle with fine motor skills or sticking with projects for long periods of time shined in this lesson. You know they feel good about themselves with the "too cool for school" fourthies give you hugs at the end of art class. My favorite comment: I never knew I could draw like this! I'm shipping all of these out to Artome tomorrow and our art show is at the start of December. I'll be certain to let you know how that goes. This will be our first Artome show...I'm really excited! Y'all know we do a HUGE end of the year art show where everything that every kid has made is hung up. I'm super stoked that for this show, I don't have to hang a thing! I hope y'all have a fabulous week leading up to Turkey Day! I'll be in and out on this here blog with lots to share...so, during your break from stuffing runs, be sure to drop on by.
Hello, Blog Hoppers! Lindsey Erickson (The Teacher Wife), here! Don't hate me, but July is usually the time I start getting into the back-2-school mode. I try to give myself time off during June (ya, right...), but once July is here, it's all about school. During the summertime, I love thinking about what my back-2-school bulletin board will be. (I love decorating bulletin boards!) It's the first thing that greets my new little first graders, on that *scary* first day of school, so I always want it to be welcoming, bright, and cheerful. I also like to incorporate my students' names in some way. This was my bulletin board last year and it was so fun! (You can check out my bulletin board from the year before here.) I got the idea here! I had my students write their names on the crayons on the first day of school. Originally, I was going to have them write their names with glitter... but I changed my mind last minute and just went with a black marker. (I have a serious love/hate relationship with glitter and I just wasn't feelin' it...) I got the rainbow border from the Target dollar section and I made the crayon box from a doughnut box (thank you local bakery). I cut out the words "We're the BRIGHTEST crayons in the box!" with my Silhouette Cameo using card stock. I ran the crayons off on colored construction paper and let my students choose their favorite color. You could also run them off on white card stock and let them decorate their crayon. If you use these crayon printable for your bulletin board (or anything else), take a picture, and tag me on Instagram---I'd love to see it! (My username is: teacherwifelindsey) Thanks for reading! Feel free to stop by my blog for creative classroom ideas! Have a good day!
