Chris Uphues Inspired Hearts

These fun and colorful works of art were created by the students in grades one through three. We began by learning about street artist Chris Uphues and his eye-catching cartoon heart faces. We began by tracing different shaped hearts and drawing fun cartoon style faces on them. During the next class, students either painted in the hearts with one color or practiced blending two colors together. During the final class, we added some fun painted confetti to the background. Students had a blast drawing these wonderfully expressive faces and blending colors.
