Sleeping Selfies: Gustav Klimt Blankets

Hello there!
This lesson is brought to you by the cold weather and some creative third grade artists! I introduced the artwork of Gustav Klimt, and we talked about all of the patterns and textures you can see in his work. We then proceeded to create sleeping self-portraits inspired by Klimt, where our faces are simple but our blankets are full of color and texture. We also got to experiment with an unfamiliar media - colored pencils - learning how to blend them together, and use them in various ways (media,techniques and processes!).  Here are some great results:






This one is unfinished but his textures and blending were wonderful!

Thank you for taking a look! Please stop by again soon!
