Mona Lisa Parodies!!
6th graders learned about the most famous painting in the world last week. THE MONA LISA!!! We discussed how almost 6 million people visit it each year and where they had seen the painting before. Students called out that they had seen it in movies, T.V. shows (like Wizards of Waverly Place) and many many more places. Many people make parodies of this painting because of its fame. So... that is what we did!! I printed out a copy of the Mona Lisa and students cut her away form the background. Next, they decided which setting they wanted to put her in. I love how each idea was different and unique!!We had gazelle Lisa, tissue Lisa and even Mona Gump!! Next, we outlined our design in black marker and colored them in with colored pencil. Great Job!!
I am currently in my 7th year of teaching!! I teach art to 6th, 7th and 8th graders at Southeast Middle School. I have taught for 5 years in the Phoenix Elementary School District. I absolutely love teaching art and cannot imagine doing anything else! I enjoy painting in my free time and my artwork has been on display in restaurants and galleries in the Phoenix and Cleveland areas.
I attended Kent State University in Ohio. I majored in Art Education and received two minors in fine art and education. I graduated from High School in Ohio also, and was selected to participate in a professionally oriented Art Program. It was this program and the wonderful teachers that taught it that inspired me to become an Art Teacher.
