Your mission: Recreate a famous painting on a 3D surface - shoes. Vocabulary: Acrylic Paint - Acrylics are water-based paints, which means they can be mixed with water to thin them down and you clean your brushes with water. They’re made from pigment mixed with acrylic resin and emulsion. Acrylics are very fast drying and can be use in thin, watery glazes or impasto. Student Materials: Books with different paintings & painting movements, Shoes, Brushes, Gesso, Sand paper, Pencil, Acrylic paints (variety of colors) Teacher Materials: PowerPoint on Cows on Parade & Appleart (see assignment documnet tab), Library time Resources: The cows are, in fact, the objects of art; they are life size models made of resin, on which the artists create their own works of art. The model cows serve the artists as a three-dimensional canvas.
