Monday, April 25, 2011. Poems and Painting with Cy Twombly. Cy Twombly is an American artist who is know for his big, graffiti style paintings. He often quoted poets and myths in his paintings too. I personally love his style and wanted to replicate his "Rose" series. First we constructed a poem together as a group. I did it "mad lib style" where the kids filled in the blanks to create a more personalized poem. Black construction paper, cut into long rectangles. Colored construction paper for flowers.

Friday, July 15, 2011. Big white drawing paper. 1 Fold the big white drawing paper in half. 2 Draw one half of a butterfly, just one wing, in black crayon.press HARD. 3 Fold the butterfly in half the opposite way. 4 Using a tool (like a wide popsicle stick) press down and rub the stick over the paper.the idea is to transfer the crayon enough to the other side so you can have a mirror image of the design. 6 Color it in. 7 Glue a butterfly body in the middle.
