Roy Lichtenstein is one of my favorite artists. His work is bright, bold, graphic, and thought provoking. We were visiting Chicago a couple of years ago, and as luck would have it, we were there during an AMAZING Lichtenstein retrospective at the Art Institute of Chicago . (Side note: if y
This is a fun lesson to do with those 6th graders who are just too "cool for school", lol. I showed the students this You Tube video where Batman & Robin are fighting the bad guys and on the screen are onomatopeoias (the kids LOVED it): Next, I had my slideshow playing on my new, fancy projector. I had the definition of onomatopeoia, sample artwork, various words they could choose from, and comic book fonts. I also had this handout printed out for kids to refer to: Here are the samples of artwork that I showed the class before we began our artwork: And, of course, I HAD to share the art of Roy Lichtenstein with this project: As you can see, these samples are layered with text and color, so for our assignment, students cut out black and white text from magazines and glued them all over their 9x12" paper. Then, they sketched out which word they wanted to put on their art. We used scrap paper to sketch out our ideas so they didn't mess-up their 9x12 collage work. When they were ready with their final idea, they used a sharpie marker to draw their words and details that describe their word on their paper. We didn't even get to the color part of this project yet today, but they are so excited about this one! Give it a try! If you want the slideshow, leave me a comment and I can e-mail it to you :)

Hello, friends! If you saw my post earlier this week, I said I'd be sharing a follow-up lesson to our Jasper Johns-inspired alphabet paintings. Here's a peak at that project: And the video lesson! I see my kindergarteners for 40 minutes, once a week. I knew they'd zip through the alphabet painting...so I shared with them a super fun Chicka Chicka Boom Boom video from YouTube and challenged them to make a painting of upper and lower case letters. This resulted in beautiful black and white paintings of letters. We piled them on to the drying rack and were done for the day...two masterpieces complete! Once the ink is dry from the bingo daubers, my students are going to "hug" their letters with water soluble markers. Then they'll add just water right over their marker lines for this fabulous result! Another alternative to having them paint over their lines is simply spray them with water! Once class only had moments left so we did this trick and, while I like the other result better, these still look great. Just a tip: when spraying with water, less is best. The colors will bleed if given time. And there you have it, two great literacy projects for kindergarten in one!
