1st Grade Jim Dine Heart Project
This first grade students learned about artist Jim Dine and his use of hearts in his artwork. Students drew out a heart and sectioned it off using rulers while also adding geometric and organic shapes to break up the areas. They then used 2 warm and 2 cool colors to colorize the piece. Enjoy!
