HEART art

(Here is Jim Dine's "Imogen" that we viewed to copycat)

My Kindergarten/1st grade students learned about primary, secondary and complimentary colors. I also introduced them to watercolor painting and to the American artist, Jim Dine, and some of his work. I LOVE Dine's art. This was the first time I've attempted this project with my students and they did a fabulous job capturing Dine's style. I'm so impressed with the outcome, I can't wait to begin hanging them up in their classrooms tomorrow. They will then go home as the cover of their Valentine letters to Mom and Dad :)
