3rd Grade Photo Bomb

3rd graders studied a selection of famous artworks and chose one image to work with. The

students then imagined how they might incorporate

themselves into the artwork. Using their iPads, students took photographs of each other in

several poses and then uploaded these images to Sketchbook Pro. They erased the background behind their body and created a second layer that held the famous artwork. The isolated image of the student was then overlaid and transformed to fit onto the image of the famous Artwork. African Inspired Art

- The students had a great time with their Africa Unit in art. They constructed stunning paper masks

that were inspired by authentic African masks. The students used 3-dimensional thinking and

symmetry to create realistic and exaggerated features. Then, the 3rd graders used Kente cloth

design concepts to create Paste Paper Paintings that were used to make book covers for their

African Folktales.
