Jim Dine Inspired Hearts



This was a fast and furious 40 minute period lesson!
It's great for discussing both line, pattern and colour.
We first looked at the heart paintings by Pop artist Jim Dine.
Grade 4-6 students used tempera paint sticks to create a colourful patterned background 
on 9 x 12" white paper. Then they created a heart template from folded scrap paper. They traced this onto their background, outlined it using black oil pastels, and blended it for shading. I love how these turned out!
