Sketchbook........

I been thinking about doing the Sketchbook Project this summer to get back into making art again.  I know it wont be in my media, but I think it would be fun to do..  Anyways this was a thought of mind today.  For those that dont know what the Sketchbook Project is you pick a topic and draw in a sketchbook and then it travels the world and people can look at your art and thats what it is in a nut shell.  Check out the link above for more info. 

Anyways back to my thought.  I think it would be really neat if there was a way to do with different school.  Not sure how all this would work out, but that was one of my many thoughts of the day.

I will have to think about how it would all work out a different day... :)

5th Grade Portraits in the style of Jean Dubuffet Two Different Ways

I saw this lesson on Hands, Head'n Heart.  I never seen this painting by Jean Dubeffet before but I like it... So I wanted to try it.  I did it with my 5th grades.. We need it two different ways.

1.  We had foam head and the student painted them in the same style of Dubeffet.
2.  We used paper and cut out all the shapes to make the portrait

Both were fun and were changing for my students.  Thanks for the great lesson.

sorry the picture are a bit yellow.. not sure what happen
