Are you familiar with Clementine Hunter? She was a self-taught folk artist who started painting in the 1930's when she was in her fifties. Many of her paintings were done from memory of her life as a black farm laborer on a Louisiana plantation. Some depict farm chores, while others show weddings and other celebrations. Clementine Hunter had no formal education of any sort, and certainly no art education. She started painting using cast-off brushes and tubes of paint from an artist who visited the plantation, creating her artwork on any surface she could find (including cardboard boxes, gourds, window shades, and bottles). She was also skilled in sewing, making quilts, tapestries, and other textiles, primarily from scraps and repurposed materials. Many show elements of plantation life. While much of Hunter's artwork depicts her life as a farm laborer, she had another favorite subject: zinnias. I selected her 1965 "Zinnias in a Pot" as the inspiration for artwork of my own. Hunter's artwork is oil on board. Source My artwork is acrylic on cereal boxes. --------- Cereal Box Art Inspired by Clementine Hunter's Zinnias Materials: cereal boxes Folk Art paint scissors glue Steps: Open up several cereal boxes and paint large swaths of yellow, blue, and green. Use a variety of shades to create interest. Create flower shapes using reds, pinks, and whites. Trim the yellow to make a base for the artwork, then cut a pot and handle from blue. Cut leaves, stems, the trim for the pot, and flowers. Glue everything together, starting from the bottom. Attach the trim and handle to the vase, then glue that to the background. Add the stems and lower leaves. Then start layering flowers and leaves. It creates really neat dimension. Finally, accent the center of each flower with small bits. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about Clementine Hunter and loved using her style to create with different media. There were times that I was frustrated because my painted cardboard wouldn't do what her oil paints did (flower centers in particular), but it was satisfying to work through the challenge and create something that stays true to the original but has plenty of me.

An archival premium Quality Folk Art Print of a Funeral Procession by Clementine Hunter for sale by Brandywine General Store. The self taught naive artist painted this oil on board in 1950. Funeral Procession is one among many of religious rituals that the artist painted from her memory of life on the plantation. This busy scene is painted with bright colors highlighting the hats, flowers and clothing. The scene, as is common in many of Hunter's paintings, portrays a simple story of a funeral procession leading from a Church down a hill to the cemetery or grave-site. Paintings by folk artists are becoming very popular and the originals are now getting difficult to find and purchase. These artists were also known as Naive, tramp or self taught painters.

Inspired by folk artist Clementine Hunter, these zinnia bouquets are a pure pleasure to create. Clementine Hunter was a self-taught artist who painted scenes of work on the farm, celebrations, and zinnias. She was a descendant of slaves and worked as a laborer on a plantation in Louisiana. A fantastic introduction to the lesson is the picture book biography Art from Her Heart: Folk Artist Clementine Hunter by Kathy Whitehead and Shane W. Evans. After learning about the artist, we draw zinnias in a symmetrical arrangement. Some of Clementine Hunter’s bouquets were painted this way, which is our inspiration. It's a simple way for children to learn about symmetry while painting a beautiful bouquet of flowers. This project can be done on white drawing paper with a painted background, or on construction paper (which takes less time). Either way is beautiful, and the lesson demonstrates both techniques. Modifications are shown for younger students. These are created with oil pastels and tempera. This project’s great for Black History Month, Spring or Summer, Mother’s Day, or really anytime. Time Required: 60-90 minutes, broken into 2 classes. The 19-page project includes: -Project Overview + Learning Objectives -Supplies + Resources -Spotlight: Clementine Hunter -Detailed Photo Tutorial for Drawing + Painting with 2 Options -Samples -Photos of Zinnias -Handout: Drawings of Folk Art Zinnia Bouquets Thanks for checking out the lesson!
