Kehinde Wiley Projects 2018

6/4/2018

Each year I've taught a fifth grade lesson inspired by contemporary artist, Kehinde Wiley. This year I decided to try something different and incorporated green screen technology for students to create unique self-portraits. You can download my unit plan here.

Below are examples of Wiley's work and the Old Masters/Baroque paintings he referenced. Students used this same technique when creating their own self-portraits!

What program did you use for the green screens? I was thinking about trying out this project next school year! I love your lessons by the way!

Hi Rachel! I used an iphone app called GS Wizard. It's very user-friendly! Thank you for the kind words and let me know if you have any more questions about the app or using green screens!
