4th grade Yayoi Kusama Pumkin Collage

This fall, 4th grade created some Yayoi Kusama inspired pumpkin collages! 

I taught this to 4th grade, and then dressed up as Yayoi Kusama for storybook character day. It was fun seeing the 4th graders light up and recognize who I was when I walked through the halls, that day! 

We studied the art of Kusama, learned about her career and life from this Tate Museum video.

Here's what supplies you need

Tru ray Sulphite paper

Sharpie markers

scissors

pencils

glue sticks

Then I demonstrated how to create our own!

1st grade Dot Day Creations!

This week, 1st graders are creating dotted works of art inspired by Peter H. Reynolds' book, The Dot! September 15th is International Dot Day, and is celebrated in schools all over the place! If you want to participate in International Dot Day, visit this link. I was originally inspired by his book, and @MsRogersArtClass on Instagram. Check out her cool projects, by clicking on her name! 

Here's how we created our own!
