Third Grade Photo Bomb Project

Photobomb Famous Art - In this lesson, 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. Huntertwasser Drawings – the children studied the bold and colorful artwork of Viennese painter and architect, Friedensreich Hundertwasser. They began by thinking about three words that represent their own “Individual Film.” Next, they sketched out their ideas on black canvas with pencil and outlined the contours with black glue. The final step was to add saturated color and texture with oil pastel to create an abstract multi-media drawing. By the beginning of December, we were experimenting with some woodworking techniques. Using hammers, wood glue, nails, rasps and c-clamps, along with some collage techniques; the students created unique abstract Naturescape designs from scrap wood, marker and paper.
