This is one of my favorite lessons.
Students started with an eye study on how to draw realistic animal eyes. They used oil pastels for coloring. Students then began to paint on newspaper. Once dried students ripped and shredded the newspaper π° and glued onto their blank canvas.
Students then placed the eyes and nose over the newspaper and painted more in-depth details to create their cats and dogs. Multi step lesson with amazing results β€οΈπ¨π»πΆπ€©
Students learned about American Artist Claes Oldenburg. They created Hamburger π collages inspired by Oldenburg. Students used a variety of materials to create their toppings, they were encouraged to think out the box and recreate their favorite foods as hamburger toppings some included ice cream π¦, chicken π, egg π³, pizza π, sushi π£, and more.
Students then glued their creations on a paper plate and made a red and white paper weaving tablecloth as the final touch.
Perfect lesson for the holiday teaching students all about the element of art βValueβ and how to blend and shade using chalk and oil pastels.
