I printed these out ahead of time and cut each one out (not only to save time, but to ensure that no one would lose fingers or ears etc. ON DAY 3 Students glued their black and white self-portrait onto their painting.
While kids worked, I took each students photo (which I later printed as a high-contrast black & white photo on printer paper). Before painting we reviewed what the primary colors, secondary colors and warm and cool colors were. ON DAY 2 They painted their drawings using concentrated liquid watercolors creating a crayon wax-resist. They then filled out a short questionnaire with questions asking about their favorite things and things about themselves. Students then went over all their lines with crayons being sure to press super hard (later on we would do a crayon wax-resist). ON DAY 1 After viewing the slideshow and doing a quick demo, students drew an abstract drawing using various lines, and shapes on 12×18″ medium weight tagboard. We discussed how abstract art focuses mainly on lines, shapes, and colors. On the first day of the lesson, students learned about abstract artwork and looked at a slideshow of artwork by various abstract painters ( Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Joan Miro, Jackson Pollock and William de Cooning). This lesson took (3) 40 minute art classes to finish. This fun self-portrait lesson combines art exploration in abstract art and color theory! and how they were created below! Plus a little virtual gallery walk video!) This is one of my FAVORITE art lessons for 2nd grade!! I LOVE each and every one of them!!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR CHECKING OUT MY BLOG! MORE ARTWORK (ALONG WITH SOMETHING EXCITING AND NEW IN THE WORKS FOR 5TH GRADE!!) ALL COMING VERY VERY SOOOOOON!!!!!! MORE ON THIS LESSON FROM PREVIOUS YEARS HERE! ET VOILA! I hope you enjoy these awesome abstract self-portraits as much as I do!! They then glued their black and white self-portrait onto their painting as well as their printed sentences that were cut into strips ahead of time. LOOK AT ALL THIS FABULOUS LAYERING OF BRIGHT FUN COLOR!!
I LOVE the addition of neon to their paintings!! Adds a nice layer of texture and so much color! This step was a new one this year, and kids and myself are happy of this new edition to the process! In the following art class, students added additional color using NEON oil pastels by drawing shapes and lines on their dry paintings. While students worked, I took each students photo (which I later printed as a high-contrast black & white photo on printer paper). On day 2 of the lesson, they painted their drawings with watercolors creating a crayon wax-resist. They then filled out a short questionnaire with questions asking about their favorite things and questions about themselves. Students drew various lines and shapes on 12×18” tagboard in pencil, then went over all the lines with crayons being sure to press super hard (later on we would do a crayon wax-resist). Students then looked at a fun, quick slideshow of artwork by various abstract painters (Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Joan Miro, Jackson Pollock and William de Cooning). Students noticed that the drawings and paintings were basically lines and shapes! We discussed how abstract art focuses mainly on lines, shapes, and colors and didn’t show a “picture” of anything (a person, a dog, a tree etc.) I asked students what they thought abstract artwork might be while looking at all the examples. On the first day of the lesson, I showed students my examples, students artwork from previous years, as well as just the abstract drawings before paint was applied. Students could pose anyway they wanted for their photos- I Love the variety! Some fun and silly, some serious and contemplative, and some just happy and smiling!ĭID SOMEONE SAY HEAVY ON THE PHOTOS PLEASE?!! More details on how they were created below students artwork! I’ve done this a few years now and it’s definitely one of my favorite lessons for 2nd grade! This fun self-portrait 3 day lesson combines art exploration in abstract art and color theory. The “What Should I Draw?” Jar list of ideas!.
