Carolyn Braden's Illusion Hands: Pinterest Inspired

Can all grade levels (K-5) handle this project? Yes! I needed a good independent project for students to work on while I called them to art store last week. I made a hand out of all the steps needed to create this project with PowerPoint. (I made the project and took photos of each step). The students all loved it. Many took their art home to finish or finished at school in their home rooms. Some even did another one during free draw time. Students loved sharing their reasons as to why this 2-D drawing appears to be 3-D. Yet another great Pinterest inspiration.

Carolyn Braden's Kinders Fish Bowl Still Life: Pinterest Inspirations

Here are some of my Kinders Fish Bowl Still Life art. I was inspired by a project I saw on Pinterest. It was from artsonia.com. Like I always try to do with my projects, I took it even further. We studied overlapping, collage, pattern, still life, narrative art (they are writing a story to go with their projects), line, shape, color groups, mosaics and so much more. We made a connection to Romare Bearden's mosaics and to Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat. I loved how they turned out. This was first done in crayon and then we painted over it with watercolor paint.
