Pinteresting Art Ideas! -

It’s no secret art teachers love Pinterest. In this new blog series, I will round up some of my favorite Pinspiration for art teachers. If you’d like to see all of my Pins, follow me on Pinterest. It’s a great way to plan projects, find handouts and ideas! If you have other ideas that fit this theme, add them in the comment section.

I was inspired to pick the theme of FACES for this blog post, because I came across this fun picture by Picasso. Wouldn’t this be a fun sketchbook assignment? Have the kids cut out eyes from magazines or newspapers and create a simple line drawing for the body.

Blanca Helga created these whimsical cardboard figures. I love the use of recycled materials, the cute faces and limited color scheme.

Finally in First blog shared these adorable self-portraits of her students at age 100. Perfect for celebrating the 100 days of school.

Can you tell I love mixed media? I was instantly drawn to these gorgeous portraits by Kat Macleod. This portrait combines a watercolor face with cloth for clothes, newspaper and sequins.

Teesha Moore has a fun how-to-draw sheet for cute and funky figures. This is the kind of handout I would set out for early finishers or put in a drawing center for free-draw time.

I’m really digging this abstract, simplified face by Lynda Black. I’m not sure how I would use this in the classroom, but maybe it would make a good launching point for a printmaking project.
