5th Grade Romero Britto Pop Art Paintings!

How much do you LOVE Romero Britto??? I just love his HaPpY style of bold color and pattern! So do my students... this post has two years of paintings. The first batch is the most recent, I focused more on choosing a favorite item, a "popular" item and drawing it large.  The last group, we looked more at Britto's landscapes and still life's. Either way, it is a fun lesson to teach! I like giving students the space to chose their own as much as possible. Britto is so inspiring, 

Here are a few process pictures...

2nd Grade Romero Britto Cats and Dogs!

I LOVE Romero Britto!  His art is so full of color energy, it wakes me up just to look at it!  Just like a cup of coffee!  My students loved Britto too, they loved making these cats and dogs.  Everyone was able to choose cat OR dog, since some people are cat people and others dog people.  The first day we looked at several of his works of art and discussed his use of color and pattern, (Romero Britto Prezi) and then I directed a drawing lesson with 4 variations of ears, and sitting positions.  

They did a great job! 

Second week we painted in the whole cat/dog.  Third week we outlined with black tempera and added dot and stripe patterns with the colors.  They turned out great!  Each has it's own personality!!!
