Klimt Portraits: 3rd Grade

Third grade also looked at Klimt's work. We concentrated more on his use of patterns. In my example I used my cat (she's cuter than I am when she sleeps).



On the first day, students split a yellow paper into five sections. Each section was filled in with a different pattern. I encouraged students to mimic some of the interesting patterns Klimt used. During this class, I took a picture on my teacher iPad of the students "sleeping." I printed these out for the students to use later.

Students at one school used a patterned paper for the blanket. At my other school, students had to create a patterned blanket. Both methods worked well. I had to remind students to make the blankets LONG; otherwise, it looks like they have no legs!!

Here is what their artworks looked like after piecing them all together! I hope that this is a piece they keep for a long time - they all did so well!

All About Me: Teacher's Homework!

One of my school's principal requires each staff member/teacher to do one of these "All About Me" papers. The requirements are pretty self-explanatory: fill it with things that pertain to myself! I hope it's not too obvious that I'm the art teacher...


Please note that mermaid-me has a "catfish" that looks eerily similar to my real life furbaby!

I love doing collages! This "assignment" has got my creative juices flowing. I would love to do a collage project with the older classes! Time to ask for students to bring in old magazines!!
