1st Grade - Heart Paintings

These paintings were inspired by the artist Jim Dine.  Jim Dine is closely associated with the development of Pop Art in the early 1960's.  The 1st graders focused on Jim Dine's series of heart paintings.  We observed numerous paintings and discussed how he used color, line, texture, and balance.  Those principles and elements were then applied to our paintings.  Great job first graders!
