What’s Included In My Pop Art Project
Can I be honest with you? Art history can sometimes be boring for kids. There, I said it. Teaching about artists and cultures doesn’t have to be a snoozer, though!
I’ve designed 3 different ways for students to attempt this Britto butterfly project. All will engage kids to create! Choose which way works best for your classes:
- Roll a dice game to add randomness to your student’s artwork
- “You Pick” art worksheet for kids to choose their own elements
- Digital spinner wheels, so kids can randomly pick elements and you can integrate technology in the art room
- Printable dice template in case you have no dice
-
Britto Butterfly template, which kids can draw directly on it or transfer it to heavy drawing paper
- Step-by-step picture directions to guide students through the art process
- Drawing practice worksheet, for kids who want to sketch out their ideas
- Romero Britto Artist biography about the life and work of this Brazilian Pop Art painter, so you don’t need to research
- “Big Ideas” reflection worksheet where students write about their art process
- Self-assessment worksheet so kids can think about how they performed during the project
- Art grading rubric which assesses expectations, craftsmanship, work habits, creativity, and clean-up
- 8 “I CAN” Statements aligned to the Studio Habits of Mind to use during instruction or post on your bulletin board
- 4 Art exit tickets with quick, thought-provoking prompts
- Art history coloring pages to keep kids inspired by Romero Britto’s butterfly painting outside of the art room

I love the concept behind roll a masterpiece! As students create they are learning (hands-on) about Romero Britto’s art as well as his style. However, supplemental information on the artist and his artworks could be very beneficial!

Christina Yannayon –
I used this with my third grade homeschooler, as we are learning about artists (and we live in South Florida!) The best thing about this resource is that it’s truly different on every roll, which adds to the unique nature of each lesson–you could truly do this tree times and get different looking results, but the same Britto style. Well thought out!
