Fifth graders studied the difference between appropriation and parody and how it relates to art. Each class looked at a variety of parodies that were inspired by influential artwork throughout history. The students were asked to create an original parody for the painting Girl with the Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer. Using sources from the internet and a line drawing of the famous painting, each student drew and painted a person of their choice in the legendary pose. CLICK HERE to see student work.

3rd-grade students learned how to weave on a cardboard loom. Using these skills they set out to create a towel/mat/blanket for a figure in a pose of their choice. Then inspired by the human sculptures of Jeff Koons and the NYC public art piece "The Sunbather," students created their own human figure out of clay. They manipulated their figure into any pose they wanted and many students ended up creating their own sunbather. Finally, they painted and decorated their clay figure in an outfit of their choice.

Students studied the art of Pablo Picasso, specifically his blue, rose and cubist periods. Then students drew a dog in a cubist manner, some drew from photos of their own pets. Finally, students painted their working to show texture using a monochromatic color scheme. Click here to see more student work
We began this project by reading, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus as a class. We talked about the art room rules and why they are important. Then each student completed a worksheet where he or she wrote out the rule and drew a picture to go along with it. Finally, we drew a mustang (the Monroe school mascot) together and students individually added the necessary objects and props. I typed up the captions that go along with each piece and attached them to their projects. Read the artist statement on Artsonia to see what each Mustang is doing.
