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.
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!
