Frank Big Bear portraits



Fourth grade students looked at the art of Minnesota native artist Frank Big Bear of the White Earth Reservation. We watched this video ( http://www.mnoriginal.org/episode/mn-original-show-206/frank-big-bear/   )and discussed his grid like style, we also looked at his use of complimentary colors to make his art bold and stand out among other artistic styles. Students practiced drawing a face with a grid pattern over the face, and around the head. 




Students used colored pencils to fill in each grid space, they outlined the facial features to make them easy to see.
