No Prep Early Finisher Art History Activity
In these unscramble grid activities, students are presented with a scrambled image of a portrait of a famous artists. I have included options both for cutting and pasting, as well as drawing, which makes this great for students of any age and makes differentiation in your classroom really easy. Here's what one teacher had to say: "This was great for early finishers...just enough to challenge them with proportioning," -April D.
Great Collaborative Project for the End of School Year & Summer!
"Loved this resource. I used it as a collaborative project at the end of the year. I have purchased several of these." — Brenda M. Rated 5 out of 5 Make art history come to life in your classroom! This art activity is intended to complement/supplement any lessons on Hokusai and/or his famous artwork, The Great Wave off Kanagawa. There are two options so you can choose what works best for you and your students – making it great for any age. Both options are very easy.
Low Prep Frida Kahlo Class Coloring Project
The Frida Kahlo Collaboration Portrait Poster is designed to complement Frida Kahlo lessons, Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations, Women’s History Unit, Mexican studies, or any famous artist study. This lesson is very easy for teachers (low prep) but so much fun for kids! Each student is given one piece of a large mosaic collaboration poster to color or draw. Once all sheets are colored and cut out, they are then assembled to reveal a large multi-colored mural of Frida Kahlo in various colors.
Monochromatic Edgar Degas Dancers Art Lesson Posters
There are two poster sizes included. The small poster has 3 pieces. The large poster has 10 pieces. Your dancers can have a white background, no background, or a color of your choice! I’ve included a Degas facts handout to introduce Degas to your students. I’ve also created a complete Degas video you can show your students. This video introduces students to Edgar Degas. It also explains to them what “monochromatic” means. Then it quickly goes through the steps of this project.
Pointillism Project for the Entire Class
This year, I wanted to put a little different spin on Dot Day. I had just completed a new collaboration poster of Georges Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. I realized this would be the perfect (and unique) Dot Day art project. I showed my students an example of Seurats’ iconic artwork and showed how it is completely made up of little dots. As we made our version, each student added colors and dots in their own individual ways.
Fun Pop Art Coloring Activity for Mother's Day
This resource includes 12 different ready-to-color designs inspired by Andy Warhol, Robert Indiana, Wayne Thiebaud, Roy Lichtenstein, Romero Britto, and Keith Haring. You can make so many variations with these cards. Combined with your students’ creativity, you’ll be amazed at how the final cards come out. The possibilities are endless!
Henri Matisse Inspired Art Process Lesson
Drawing with Scissors (and embracing the process!). Normally, when someone says they’re going to be drawing, the expectation is to use a pencil. However, there are no pencils allowed in this “drawing” activity! Instead, these drawings will be created by cutting, arranging, and gluing colored pieces of paper. This lesson takes inspiration from Henri Matisse’s artworks called cut-outs. It’s an excellent way for students to experiment with shapes and see the art tools they usually use in new ways.
Pollock Style Pumpkin Decorating Activity
If you want a quick and easy idea for decorating pumpkins, I think you’ll love these Pollock Pumpkins. Kids are always fascinated to learn that someone could be so famous from splattering paint everywhere. This is a great time to talk to kids about why artists become famous and they can start to see that being an artist is about discovering and experimenting with ideas – much like a scientist. This is a great activity for young children and great for their gross motor skills.
Make Henri Matisse Style Cut-outs with Your Children!
The inspiration for this project is from an artist named Henri Matisse, who was famous for his artworks called cut-outs. He would simply use scissors and cut out the paper to create beautiful shapes. A lot of times, these shapes were what we call organic shapes. That means that the edges weren’t straight and geometric like a square or rectangle, but instead had curved lines that resembled things in nature like plants. He called this technique “drawing with scissors.”
Easy Edgar Degas Dancer Art for Kids
You can do this project in several ways. In the video, I demonstrate how you can make your own monochromatic paper with students using acrylic paint and then use the templates I provide to create Degas dancers out of that paper. However, you can also use the templates and copy them onto paper already on a value scale. The third option is to transfer the template shapes onto construction paper using a graphite transfer method. These options are all explained in the video.
Monochromatic Art Activity | Picasso's The Tragedy
This poster is easy, fun, and unique. Each student is given one page of the poster to color using a monochromatic color scheme. Once all sheets are colored and cut out, they are then assembled to reveal a large collaboration poster of Pablo Picasso’s The Tragedy. Students will get a chance to emulate Picasso’s monochromatic color scheme as they color the pages in shades of blue. To get a wide range of blues, I recommend that you give your students blue crayons, colored pencils, and markers.
Art Escape: Mona Lisa (Grammar Edition) | Escape Room | Team Building Activity
Fun, engaging, memorable! Grammar escape room review (grades 4 - 8) that challenges students to follow the clues, solve the puzzles, and recover the stolen Mona Lisa for their classroom! #artwithjennyk #brainwavesinstruction
Student Collaboration Poster: Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night
What is better than The Starry Night from Vincent van Gogh? How about a huge poster of The Starry Night that all your students get to help recreate? Since the real thing can’t be touched, having students work together to create their own version will remind them that this painting is larger than life! My collaborative posters are easy for teachers and fun for kids. There are two options to choose what works best for you and your students – making it great for any age.
