Street artist James Goldcrown (@jgoldcrown) was the artist inspiration for the Valentines themed heart collage.
I found the project idea HERE and just switched up the artist to James Goldcrown.
Born in West London, Goldcrown is a self-taught artist/photographer now based in Los Angeles. He is most famous for his Bleeding Hearts/Lovewall murals which started showing up everywhere on Instagram back in 2015.
See all the steps that I posted previously about HERE.
We started by looking at photos of his art, then watched a Youtube video interviewing him about his collaboration with Sketchers shoes. One of my students was actually wearing a pair!
I think one of the keys to this project is using really true black construction paper. Tu Ray and Crayola make good ones. I sometimes also buy a rich black cardstock from Michaels or Wal Mart.
This is a great lesson for reinforcing and practicing good cutting and gluing skills.
Some finished Grade 4 - 6 artworks!
