Modern Mona Lisa: Free downloadable coloring page of Mona in her roller skating finery.

I like to follow up our da Vinci studies with a parody in art project.  In some classes, I become pretty involved in making my own parody along with the class.  This happened with my roller skating 70s queen Mona.  I decided to turn it into a coloring page!  Enjoy!
Here are some of my third graders' work:

PS I started an Amy Pond and The Doctor parody, but I'm not sure if I'll get it finished!

PPS did you notice the corner suns in some of their work?!  Nothing makes me happier.

Show me the Mona Lisa! My version of the awesome way to get kids ready for class.

I saw "Show me the Mona Lisa" posters on Pinterest and other blogs I follow.  I have been teaching my students for years to come in quietly and fold their hands - but why not add a visual.  So, I decided to make a version of my own.
I was playing around with Pixlr, since it is all I have access to at school.  So far it is very frustrating when you are already used to PhotoShop!

Masterwork Parodies: A worksheet featuring American Gothic and the Mona Lisa coloring pages

Kids love to create parodies of famous artwork!  I made up this worksheet for my kids as an end of year project.  It includes coloring pages, one of American Gothic, and one of the Mona Lisa.  My students would make their parody on plain white copy paper and use the coloring pages to trace the parts that stayed the same.
