ABOUT THIS BLOG

"A Faithful Attempt" is designed to showcase a variety of K-12 art lessons, the work of my art students, as well as other art-related topics. Projects shown are my take on other art teacher's lessons, lessons found in books or else designed by myself. Thanks for visiting!
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I acknowledge, with deep respect, that I am gathered on Treaty 7 territory. I acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for generations. I respect the histories, languages and cultures of all the Indigenous peoples of Canada, whose presence continues to enrich our community.

Picasso's Rooster Art Project

 



Grade 4 students made these funky roosters inspired by Pablo Picasso's 
pastel drawing of a rooster, seen below.

"Le Coq", 1938

I was inspired by the post found HERE on the blog "A Glimmer of Light". 

We used construction paper crayons on brown construction paper. Afterwards, I decided that oil pastels would be more effective as they are much brighter. Construction paper crayons tend to be very subdued.

This is a great lesson in teaching expressive use of colour and line and creating mood in an artwork.
