Hidden Name Drawing
Great lesson to start the year with. Students did a great job coming up with patterns and using many different colors.
A resource for the everyday art teacher!

Self Portraits
Self portraits can be tricky...students can get easily frustrated while doing this lesson. None the less, it's a really important part of the curriculum and the outcome was amazing! I taught this lesson with grade 3, 4 and 5. We focused on proportion, color mixing and following the form. You won't see any kids in my room use a plain brown pencil when coloring their hair. We mix a whole bunch of different colors to make a RICH color! When we color in our face, we follow the shape of our face instead of coloring in one direction.
Klimt Trees
The kids really enjoyed collaging the tissue paper and watching how the colors bled together. We learned about Gustav Klimt and his Symbolist approach to painting. We tried to make our own version of the Tree of Life.
