Monochromatic Paintings

Currently my second quarter art elective is working on creating Monochromatic paintings, inspired by Pablo Picasso.

We started by looking at Picasso's painting The Old Guitarist.

The students then painted a color wheel to help them determine a color
 they wanted to use to create their monochromatic paintings.

Once the students were done with their color wheels they selected one object from the art room.  They had to draw this object four different times, from four different angles.  With their final drafts approved and their drawings labeled with the different shades and tints they wanted to use. The students began to create their tints and shades for their selected color.

They then began to paint their images.

After defining the details with sharpie, the students were ready to being matting their artwork.

Here is some of their lovely finished designs. 

Can you find these objects????
-A pencil sharpener

Hi fellow art teachers and bloggers, I am very excited to say that the start of the school year is here and I am not afraid to admit this...I still have soooo much to prepare.

I was lucky enough to inherit the room of the pervious art teacher so the set-up is right and there are tons of left over supplies but now it comes down to making this room my own!!!!!

This is my classroom before.

My classroom after!!!!

My AWESOME doorway!!!

There I think this room finally has a bit of my own personal style and creativity!!!
