Well, I've been sick all week but I have managed to squeeze out a deepspacesparkle.com inspired project about Jim Dine the pop artist. I've been doing this with Kinders and 1st grade and I am so impressed at their abstract expressionism! I wish I had more projects that allowed for this kind of freedom within the bounds of the project.
 |
| Step One: Trace a heart with a pencil on white drawing paper. I cut the paper to 12"x12" squares. And I precut about 20 hearts of different sizes and spread them out on their tables. |
 |
| If they don't get the heart perfect, no worries. It looks more hand-drawn that way which is always better. |
 |
| Step Two: Outline your heart or hearts and start adding your own designs, colors or patterns. Be creative! I also showed several images of Jim Dine's heart before beginning the project for inspiration. |
 |
| We used oil pastels because they are painting with liquid watercolors. |
 |
| They could color in as much as they wanted....leaving a little white paper peeking through is good for the next step though. |
 |
| Step Three: Paint all the white space left with liquid watercolors. |
