GRADE 1 ARTISTS MAKE PEACE POSTERS

   Pablo Picasso made many Peace Posters during his career.  Grade 1 students viewed many of his works in a PowerPoint presentation.  They then began work on their own Peace Poster using the pictured work by Picasso as a guide.

   They began by drawing their hands and adding flower stems that were overlapped by the hands.  We used acrylic paint to make the flowers and glued them to the artwork to make a collage.  

   Finally, the students made thumbprints with red paint around the edge of the frame and turned the thumbprints into ladybugs.

THE FIRST PROJECT

Lines, Texture, Shape

The students will be introduced to texture and how it is represented in art. They will begin the project by making texture rubbings of several different surfaces. The next step will be to cut and glue shapes; next they will add lines and they will finish by gluing a frame.

This lesson is to introduce students to three of the Elements of Design.
