“Fruit Faces” 2 nd Grade Ms. Bartley Lesson: Fruit Faces Medium: oil pastel, watercolor Duration: 2‐3 class periods Book used: Objective: This lesson focuses on creative drawing relating to the works of Giuseppe Arcimboldo. Students will draw portraits, understanding the reason for portraiture as a way to represent a person and expressions. Students will learn to work with multiple mediums including proper use of oil pastels and watercolors. They will take their knowledge of facial features and create a portrait using fruit to represent the face. This lesson aims to incorporate art history as well as step‐by‐step processes to create a work. Benchmarks: ART.VA.I.2.1 Identify and use various materials and techniques using a sequential process. ART.VA.II.2.1 Demonstrate how materials, techniques, and processes can be used creatively to communicate ideas. ART.VA.III.2.5 Reflect on how art expresses ideas, feelings, and opinions. ART.VA.IV.2.2 Discuss the subject matter of artwork from particular cultures at specific times. Context Background: Giuseppe Arcimboldo was an Italian painter during the Renaissance Period. He was known for his portraits painted in a unique way, using fruits, vegetables, flowers, plants, and other elements of Earth to represent physical features of a human face. His style of painting was Mannerism, which typically linked human to nature. Many of his portraits represented gods or goddesses of the Earth, as well as the seasons. Students will be using Arcimboldo’s work as inspiration to create their own portraits in the same style. They will be using oil pastels, which are a very smooth wax crayons that have more oil than a normal wax crayon. This allows them to be blended, similar to paint. Because of the wax and oil, pastels can be used as a resist with watercolor painting. The watercolor and oil pastels will not mix, allowing students to paint over their lines and still see them.
