Romero Britto paintings

7th grade students wrapped up their Kimmy Cantrell masks and rolled right into a painting project in the style of Romero Britto.  Britto's colorful cheery pictures instantly please the eye and captivate a wide audience.  Here, students were asked to start their work by brainstorming a list of 10 activities they love to do in their sketchbooks.  Answers ranged from:

• cheering
• playing football
• playing basketball
• reading
• shopping
• eating pizza

Students then selected 2-3 of their favorite activities and began to sketch a person in the action(s) they selected.  These sketches were then transferred onto larger paper using a grid method.  Then the fun began by adding the color!

More to come as they progress on this project!

After many weeks, here's a selection of finished artworks
