My middle school elective class is making some patriotic art to display for Veteran's Day. We drew inspiration from American artist, Jasper Johns and his iconic flag artworks. I had students look Johns' work and talk about it's meaning. The next step was to tape down stripes onto the first layer and then brush red paint all over.
After they dried, students removed the tape and took to adding details. They used oil pastels and modge-podge to create the star(s) and patriotic words onto the flag. I gave the students copies of patriotic lyrics as well as a word bank to cut from.
More to come as we get going on the second tier!
Happy Veteran's Day!
