6th Grade Jim Dine

For the 6th grade Jim Dine projects, we used multiple mediums. First the students watercolored a heart on large white paper. After they finished painting, while still wet, they crumpled up their papers, unfolded and flattened to dry. Next they glued these onto a larger paper. They used newspaper to collage a block on the bottem, and used colored tissue paper for some sort of "Love" or Valentine's word, they glued to the newspaper. After this was finished, they used oil pastels to add the finishing touches to the entire project. I think they turned out pretty good!

Here are the first graders' Jim Dine hearts. This was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the watercolor painting with the first graders. I think they turned out beautifully!

3rd Grade Jim Dine Hearts

For the month of February, grades k-6 looked at the artwork of Jim Dine. They noticed his large variety of heart paintings. Each grade took a different spin on his work and were inspired to create their own "Jim Dine" hearts. The third grade used oil pastels to create their own heart. I found this project on Pinterest. However, when I click on the link for it's source, it takes me to the blog titled "What's Happening in the Artroom??" and it IS a Jim Dine project, but different from the image on Pinterest.  Both work great for inspiration for Jim Dine projects! Thank you for posting, so I can steal ideas!!! Yay!
