| Student work inspired by Romero Britto |
I first discovered the colorful art of artist Romero Britto at a San Francisco airport gift shop/gallery. Britto is a young (well, he seems young to me anyway!) self-taught artist from Brazil who has been fortunate to enjoy great success in his lifetime. I knew my students would be as inspired by his art as I was, so I created a fun project that would use the bold design elements he is known for.

| Britto’s lively designs are bold, colorful, and full of pattern… easy to be inspired by! Materials:
Directions:
The trickiest part of this project is to keep your design “readable” …. try not to get so carried away with your patterns and colors that it becomes too “busy”!

These look Fantastic!! I think they got the bright color and pattern concept!
Your kids did a GREAT job on these. I generally steer away from markers just because the regular classroom teachers are less comfortable with the mess of paint, etc. so I do that stuff, but these are really putting markers to good use.I love that the kids kept the areas and patterns big and uncluttered. I may try it. Thanks.
The cow is way to cute. Great lesson. Thanks for sharing!
Love these! Great color, patterns! The cow is adorable!
I Love this!! I can't wait to try it :) I will have to start an “art lesson plans” file for all the great stuff you post about!
I was going to say, “Love this,” but that's what everybody is saying! OK, I love it, too.
Absolutely love this idea! Please check out my blog! Thanks :)http://elementsofayoungartist.blogspot.com/

Where can I find a plan for the Britto Pumkin’s to teach my third graders?
Terri, I don’t know of a specific Britto pumpkin lesson, but I think you could easily do that just by drawing a large, simple pumpkin shape with lines dividing it into sections. Then color each section with a different pattern that is colorful and bold. It sounds like a fun idea!
