2nd Grade Abstract Shoe, Seconday Colors



1) Students viewed O'Keefe floral images, and discussed "zoom."


2) Students viewed other enlarged objects and guessed what they really were based on clues.


3) Students learned how to do a shoe rubbing with crayon (rub over your paper on top of your shoe, shoe off beforehand).


4) Students selected 1 of several rubbings, and circled just 1 part of the rubbing.

5) Students then used that specific, "zoomed" section to enlarge onto 12" x 18" white paper.


6) Next class, students learned about secondary colors, a new group of colors to them.

7) Students painted each section carefully.


8) Last class, students carefully outlined the original lines with small brushes and black tempera.

9) Students wrote about their artwork, giving clues as to what the artwork was about...for example, "I leave this on the ground when I walk."
