A couple of art classes ago, 5th grade started their Jim Dine and Lauralee Chambers inspired paintbrushes! They covered many art practices with this project, and I'm very proud of their results!
Here's how we created them!
Materials:
Day 1: Talk about Jim Dine, and show examples of his and other students' work. Then, I lead them in a directed drawing of how to draw different paintbrushes. After we drew them, we traced them with Sharpie Markers.
Here's a how to video here!
Day 2: They finished tracing and started shading their paintbrushes. After they completed shading, they added the paint and paint splatters!
Here's a time lapse video of me shading my paintbrushes. I used a soft charcoal pencil for the shading.
Here's a video of me adding paint to my paintbrushes!
Mrs. Kilby's class did a great job!!
Here's some awesome art from Mrs. Rogers' class! Since I'm still on a cart, I let them paint outside so we didn't make a mess in their classroom!
