Student love drawing cartoons so after our tricky color theory cubes a fun relaxing art project seemed a good fit next. So we looked at the colorful patterns of artist
Romero Britto. Britto was the 2010 World Cup Artist, in 2014 he was the Ambassador to the FIFA World Cup and he was an honorary Torch Bearer for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, he also has worked with many popular brands like Coke, Audi and Disney. Students loved studying an artist who was still alive and so popular. I love his use of bold pattern and the fact that he is an artist who donates time to causes like St. Jude Children hospital.
Students were able to either choose a cartoon the love or create their own. Then using mixed media including colored pencil, marker, oil pastel and watercolor they were asked to turn their cartoon into a modern pop art image like Britto. I think kids enjoyed the freedom of so many media options and being able to work on cartoons. Only a handful of students are done most will finish up next week but I couldn't wait to share this project.
