Jim Dine Hearts (4th Grade)

The 4th graders and I took a look at the Pop artist Jim Dine and his heart paintings.  In this lesson we discussed warm and cool color families.  The students made a heart stencil and drew 4 hearts using oil pastels. Two of them had to be from the warm family and two of them had to be from the cool family.  Then we used watercolor paints to paint background of our blocks.  The students were to paint the background the opposite of the heart (i.e.  if they had a cool heart they were to paint the background a warm color).
