Colorful 5th grade Self Portraits

Last week, I was inspired by the great Cassie Stephens yet again! Her 4th graders have been creating some Fauvist style self-portraits, and I thought our 5th graders would be great at it to! Here's the link to her original post on the topic! In the Art Room: 4th Grade Fauves

So, if you haven't figured it out by now...I just really look up to and admire Cassie Stephens! You'll see her name A LOT on this blog. She's a fellow Tennessee art teacher, and knocks folks socks off with her AWESOME lessons, FUN teaching style, and FANTASTIC wardrobe! I wanna be just like her, when I grow up! haha 

She really has helped revamp my "art teacherin'" (as she says) style, even after 13 years of teaching, and inspired me to create my own blog. With that said, here's another one of her super fun lessons we're going to try! We are the bengals, so this is a perfect lesson for my students to attempt! This project teaches them about elements of art, analogous colors, blending, and uses a new and different medium she's introduced us all to....Bingo Daubers!! 

Here's her original post-
