5th Grade- Mona Lisa Mayhem!

5th grade learned about the Renaissance during their art history unit. We looked at work from each of the 4 main artists. They loved that the artists inspired the names for the Ninja Turtles. As part of their packet of worksheets, I included a handout of the Mona Lisa that just included the face and hands. We had looked at some appropriated Mona Lisa's in our PowerPoint. The students used the worksheet to create their own parody!

For our big project, I bought a 24x36 print of the Mona Lisa and cut it up into 4x4 inch squares. Each student got 1-2 squares randomly. They used crayons to copy their squares as best as they could. In the end, I put the squares back together for the finished picture!
