Jan 11th-Elsa Schiaparelli Bloom Portraits

Children will love the rebellious nature of protagonist Elsa in the book, Bloom: A Story of Fashion Designer Elsa Schiaparelli. Art teachers will love how Elsa was inspired by artists Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and Raoul Duffy. The book also celebrates beauty and the importance of fashion in today’s culture. This lesson is an exploration of texture and color. Children learn how to draw a face using proportions and how to use a limited color palette for their collage. Children will have the opportunity to step into Elsa’s imagination and create a whimsical portrait surrounded by flowers, leaves and gem stones.
