Happy Fall and Halloween!
Bats, cats, ghouls, and goblins!
And Pumpkin Spice Lattes of course.
Happy Fall and Halloween!Weaver is a fun place to be this time of year. There are football games, fun projects, and goofy costumes! Above is my personal favorite: the 80's DJ. Here, we have a French man and his pal. A cute cartoon character! We can't forget Principal Vroom as Darth Vader, of course. And myself, as myself in 50 years. Now onto the Patterns and Pumpkins! Above is an example of the "Pumpkins and Patterns" project we just finished. Throughout the project, the students were encouraged to focus on pattern, balance, and unity. We started by studying contemporary, Brazilian artist, Romero Britt, who's work has been featured all over the world. Some of his most famous displays have been in the Super Bowl, the Fifa World cup Logo, and on a few Bentleys! We took inspiration from Britto's bright colors, beautiful patterns, and playful designs. But instead of copying his cheerful theme, we put our own twist to our work and created patterns that were fall or Halloween themed. The next step was to brainstorm! We made a web to come up with some things that came to mind when we thought of fall or Halloween... Bats, cats, ghouls, and goblins! And Pumpkin Spice Lattes of course. After they came up with some patterns, the students had to sketch their layout design and then get to work! Once they got their patterns down, they then had to make a centerpiece. I taught them how to make a pumpkin, a ghost, a bat, and an eyeball but allowed them to come up with their own if they'd like. They got so creative! Here are some examples of the finished work. They were so good, they gave me the chills! Have a terror-iffic day!
