Hot Cocoa Mugs
In these colorful hot chocolate mugs, First and Second Graders were inspired by the folk art of contemporary artist, Heather Galler. While watching a YouTube clip of Galler in action, they noted the way she uses bright, bold colors and lots of patterns. In our interpretations, the students used oil pastels to repeat lines and shapes in patterns for the background, table, cup and saucer. We finished off our pieces with sparkly white tempera paint for the steam swirling out of our cups.
