Last Tuesday, I introduced the second graders to the San Francisco artist, Eric Joyner. For a nice change in routine, students watched a video of Eric Joyner talking about his artwork, and he provided them with some valuable take aways. My favorite take away is why he paints robots and donuts- because he LIKES to. The students had a great conversation about his artwork and how it makes them feel. Students then set out to plan their own robots and donuts drawing. Eric Joyner also stressed how important it is to plan your artwork, so by the time you go to paint, all the thinking is already done. Students answered a worksheet to get them to first think about the setting, their scale and then designing their individual robots. Below are photos of some plans underway!

Last week the second graders put their finishing touches on their Romero Britto inspired artwork. They completed their work by writing a sentence about it on the back. For instance "This is a cat, inspired by Romero Britto." They then took turns sharing their artwork one by one. They put so much hard work into these vibrant drawings! Students who finished their work last week helped me to make Art-Bingo boards for a free art day reward after repeated classes of good behavior.
The first graders are carefully finishing up their Romero Britto inspired artwork and this past class, they began to add his characteristically bold lines. I'm sorry I don't have many photos, I must have been too busy complimenting them!
Last week, the second graders finished drawing their patterns in their Romero Britto inspired work and they began to carefully color them in. Next time, the second graders will use rulers and sharpies to make their bold lines and outlines to put the finishing touches on their artwork.
