New Work

Third and fourth grade are working on a great quick lesson I saw over the holidays.  It came from a teacher in California :

and features an artists from Chicago:

I love the lesson because it packs a lot of punch for a collage.  We worked on background, middle ground and foreground. We learned about analogous colors, revisited shape and balance.  What was fun for the kids was to look at Ryan's prints, they were familiar with the silkscreen process and loved the cool factor of his skateboard decks.

I couldn't wait to get these up on the blog. I do not think that they are even finished with this work, so I will put up more work when it is completed.
