My second graders are beginning a portrait painting of George Washington based on the work of Gilbert Stuart.
We began this lesson with a pre-test sketch (see example below) while listening and watching Mike Venezia's animated DVD video on George Washington.
They collected facts from the video and shared them one at a time through our George Washington Custom Photo Booth effect. Learn how to make effects like this from my earlier post.
We plan on making paintings like the ones students made in the past (see here or below)

Today I played with the magnifying attachment for my iPEVO USB document camera and placed a dollar bill under the lens. Can't wait to show my students this beautiful piece of art up close. Gilbert Stuart is the artist for this image as well. Our finished artwork will go on a dollar bill via http://www.festisite.com/money/. See example below or here.
