1st Grade Jim Dine Hearts

1st Grade Jim Dine Hearts

     First graders took a look at the American Pop Artist, Jim Dine, and his heart paintings and drawings. First graders created 2 different heart-works. First, students experimented with both compressed and willow charcoal and charcoal pencils and the different kinds of mark making to create a heart and the surrounding background. Watercolor paints were used to add color to the hearts. The second heart-work was created by overlapping and blending tempera paint inside the hearts, and overlapping and blending chalk pastels in the surrounding backgrounds. For this lesson students worked on the following learning targets:
-I can create an artwork using a variety of different lines and types of mark-making.
-I can overlap and blend colors.
