5th Grade Frames for Frida Kahlo

I  know it's been a while since I last updated this blog.  It's been very busy (as always!) these last few weeks.  Here's a few more shots of the 5th Grade Mosaic Portrait art project for our Frida Kahlo unit of study.



The students created a watercolor frame (after viewing and critiquing The Frame by Frida Kahlo) that were filled with images that represented themselves somehow.  I just loved the bright colors!

The next step was to learn how to make their frame 3-D and pop out.  You should have heard all the gasps and ooohs and ahhhs when Miss M. (my student teacher who created this outstanding lesson) showed them this step.  They really thought it was awesome!

Here's some finished projects- aren't they incredible?
