Paper Heart

Happy Line Hearts

(All 6 above are teacher examples,

mrs. Seaton had to much fun! 😍)

Let's begin...

You will need small construction paper, scissors, glue, crayons, pencil.

You will learn how to make a symmetrical shape by folding paper, pattern, line variety, positive & negative shape.

FOLD paper in half, horizontal or vertical. TURN fold to left, DRAW a hook on the fold, CUT along hook. OPEN positive shape to reveal heart...

Above; using the positive and negative together on large black background paper.

Above is an example of a positive blue shaped heart cut out & the negative blue piece left from it. They can both be used... 😃

Here above, I am using the positive blue heart on orange. After gluing the heart to a background paper, use crayons to add in lines, patterns, designs & doodles around and in heart.

Almost done...

Below, I placed the blue negative heart on a yellow paper and traced it. I removed the negative to draw designs with crayon again...

When designs on negative heart were done, I glued the blue negative onto the yellow background...

I then used the crayons to decorate the plié negative heart.

Alternative cuts using positive with negative...

Jim Dine Valentine

Jim Dine

Born June 16, 1935

He is considered a Pop artist for his subject matter of everyday popular symbols and objects. He is famous for his beloved hearts, bathrobes, tools, & Pinocchio.

We focus on his hearts for our Feburay assignment. I show a powerpoint of Mr. Dine's art focusing on identifying his style.

We talk about what ideas he repeats on his hearts and come up with a list. We call this list the "style buffet", because I have the kids choose 2 or more from many things to use from Dine's style to intermingle with their own style and ideas on their heart.

STYLE BUFFET

Colorful, Patchy, Bold Black Outline, Organized Sloppy, color blending, three dimensional shading, Print style (in groups of 2, 4, 6).

Students use oil pastels to begin with their hearts. They can make them symmetrical or free form. I show them how to fold the paper to make symmetrical hearts or get scratch paper folded and cut a heart as a pattern if repeating is desired. We go over the positive and negatives of the oil pastels and warn them about the mess they can create. But, I tell them that the oil and smudge is what makes them work so well. Neat, tight, details will be hard to get and may lead to a frustrated artist. These pastels are meant for fast, free, blended art.

These are the student examples over the last 10 years here at Mineola MIddle School..
