First, the 5th graders were introduced to the Chinese artist, Lui Bolin thru a slide show. They looked at the photographs of various scenery and tried to find where the artist was standing, painted by assistants to match his surroundings exactly! They learned about how the artist used his art to make a political statement about Chinese governmental regulations on artists.
We had collected many landscape photos from old donated calendars and each 5th grader picked out one they wanted for their background.
Students then chose a figure, traced the outline and cut it carefully out of white copy paper.
Ms. N helped the 5th graders decide where the figure should be placed in the landscape and they began using colored pencils to match the background exactly, camouflaging the figure.
When they were finished, the paper figure was glued with glue stick into the composition. These were hung up on a bulletin board where viewers could enjoy searching for the figures in the picture!
