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
This week, 3rd grade started their Henri Rousseau & Cassie Stephens inspired tigers! Here's Mr. Rousseau's painting we're getting inspiration from! Tiger in a Tropical Storm Here's how we created ours! My first two 3rd grade classes painted a couple of sheets of orange painted paper, and then the rest of the classes were able to draw their tigers, and make some green painted paper for the rest of the project! We're going to be making a collage on blue or black paper, by creating these tigers on the orange paper, and leaves on the green paper. We'll also add a tail, so it looks like the tiger is peeking out of the leaves! Can't wait to see the finished results! Here they are painting paper! I love all the different types of texture they added! Mrs. Stephens has a great video on youtube, showing you exactly how to draw the tiger, and she talks about the elements of art used in this project! Here's the link Cassie Stephen's How to draw a tiger Mrs. Fambrough's class is doing a fabulous job!! Stay tuned for some awesome art!

I usually start the year with kindergartners learning about and using lines. In previous years we have made line paintings and line sculptures with wire and pipecleaners. Another fun project we made was line windsocks by rolling up line paintings and adding tissue paper streamers. We’ve done line drawings (check out what my old blog used to look like before I moved it over to this website.) This year I was reminded by Cassie Stephens of a project I used … Read more... →
I generally talk about using cold wax as a process of adding and taking away. The taking away is all about applying reduction techniques which is basically removing oil and cold wax with the intention of creating interesting effects and textures and to also reveal earlier layers of colour and texture. Here I will illustrate how you can use tissue paper to create some interesting effects.
