a visit to the street. part 2.

So, I decided to mix it up with the kinders today. The project was still inspired by Thom Pastrano's series of abstract Sesame Street character posters, but we did images based on a couple different characters than the ones in his series... so far.

Today we looked at Oscar and Big Bird. I showed the kids photos of the puppets and we talked about how an artist doesn't always have to make something look like it really does. We compared Thom's posters to the real deal characters and then we got started making our own.

I'm partial to the Big Bird ones, but Oscar came out cool too. Although I think he reads too much as Frankenstein when the black shape is at the top.

Great job cutting and gluing, kinder kids!
