Materials: 12x18" white paper, 3"x18" colored paper for frame, markers, crayons, tempera, stamps

This lesson reviews what students learned in second grade, yet adds the element of learning about Surrealism. We looked at "Carnival", and drew some of the characters in the painting. We did rubbings for a textured background after coloring our figures with markers. I cut 12x18" sheets of colored paper into strips 3"x18", which we glued to our drawings for frames. For our stamps, I purchased some abstract stamps from an art catalog, some I found at Wal-Mart, and others I made. We stamped these onto the frame using tempera.
