Live and Create!


In art as in life, there is no need to reinvent the wheel or
fix what is not broken. Sharing what is working in my art teaching world and
hoping to hear and learn from you is the reason for my blog! I currently have some
amazing young artists so take a look at some of our recent work! Please feel free to comment and add
suggestions! I would be remiss in not thanking all the fellow artists and
teachers out there who I have previously explored and learned from. Your myriad
ideas and projects have served as an inspiration to me and my students!
Be inspired!

Grade 4 Pop Art Fish

We watched the behind the scenes filming of Finding Nemo and learned about the research and team work involved in creating a film. Students studied tropical fish and began sketching fish and sea life until they were satisfied with their design. We then discussed Pop Art and the repeated images and bright colors of that genre. Students were instructed to retrace their fish drawing three times on 5x7 paper and using either oil pastels, colored pencils or markers to fill them with color (1-primary, 1-secondary and 1-warm or cool). Students had fun drawing and coloring their fish and this lesson served as a great review of color theory.
