Grant Wood Project with Markers and Paper

Here is a fun and easy project we did in our study of Grant Wood. Mr. B loves to work with markers so this was a perfect fit for him. Grant Wood is part of my new Harmony Fine Arts Grade 4 plans.

First you view some of Grant Wood's paintings (here is a good PLACE to view) and get an idea of his style. We looked at quite a few before Mr. B decided to make his own landscape version....something like Grant Wood did in this painting: Young Corn.




He started by drawing dividing lines for each section.




He then took markers and did a different pattern in each section.

It looked like fun just playing with the different colors and textures.


Finished up it was fun to look at and I am going to hang it up in my living room. :)

Here is a lesson plan for something similar.


I highly recommend the Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists: Grant Wood book for a fun introduction to his major paintings.

Have Fun!
