In honor of Black History Month, I read the book, Tar Beach, and inspired third grade students to create their own perspective of a picnic on a rooftop in the city at night. To begin making their art, students cut out squares of magazine paper and glued them around the perimeter of their page creating a unique, quilt-like border. Next, students drew a scene of their family & friends having a picnic on a rooftop in the city at night using perspective techniques. I provided students with visuals of rooftop gardens, bridges, skyscrapers, and city skylines to inspire their drawings.
On Day 2, students outlined their drawing with permanent black marker and began coloring it in neatly with oil pastels.
This boy has an interesting story: his dog ate his art work so he made another picture on his own because he liked it so much!
On the last day, students finished coloring in their tar beach pictures and added gold & silver glitter where light would be reflected. Then I mounted the works of art on black construction paper and displayed them in the main hallway along with pictures of Faith Ringgold and her art work. The End! -Ashley Cogbill, Art Teacher, Springfield Park E.S.
