Third
Grade Face or Vase Art
Third graders study colonial life in their social
studies curriculum. Silhouette art was
popular during colonial times as most people could not afford to have a
painting made of their loved ones, and cameras were not invented yet. Having a silhouette, or shadow picture, drawn
or clipped was an affordable option for many.
Third graders combined this old art form with a much newer art form – Op
Art- to create these Face or Vase Op Art pictures.
Students learned about silhouettes, Op Art
(nonrepresentational art meant to fool the eye), positive and negative space,
and shape while creating these pieces.
Can
you see a face and a vase in each
of
these pieces?
