Ben Heine

USA Today had a upcoming artist spotlighted on their website a while back and another teacher had to share them with me... I fell in Love!  If you haven't done so, check out Ben Heine


and the cool drawings he does in his Pencil vs. Camera artwork. 

Today my 6th graders started a lesson based on his artwork.  We talked about how cameras capture the world "just the way it is" and how our pencils can capture the world "how we want it to be."  Before they could start their work they had to complete a worksheet where they practiced their pencil skills.  
So far so good.... can't wait to see what happens next week when we start the actual project.  I am also excited to use up a stack of calendars I have had for years as the backgrounds.

    is there any way you could send the document of this practice work? I am an art teacher at JH level and think that would be great for them. ecosby@cj.k12.mo.us. I would really appreciate it or maybe you could tell me where to get something about the same.

    Jen,
    I'm in the same boat at others who've also responded. I've got no formal training in art but I'm teaching it anyway. That worksheet does look great! Would you consider putting it up for purchase on TeachersPayTeachers?
