5th Grade Jim Dine Hearts

5th Grade Jim Dine Hearts

       5th graders learned about American painter, Jim Dine. Students looked at a variety of Jim Dine's paintings of hearts, taking a close look at style, technique, and color blending and overlapping. Students chose their painting surface from cardboard, tag board, illustration board, or hard canvases. Students also used a wide variety of paintbrush sizes as well as alternative painting tools, such as silverware, wooden tools, toothbrushes, and sponges. For this lesson, students worked on the following learning targets:
- I can overlap and blend a variety of colors, without creating any brown. 
- I can use a variety of paintbrush sizes and alternative tools to paint with. 
- I can create a painting that shows a clear difference between my two spaces... the heart, and the background.
