This was one of my most successful and most difficult lessons. I had my students pick a famous artwork by a famous artist such as Starry Night by Van Gogh or Sorrow of the King by Henri Matisse. I gathered up 150 high heeled shoes and boots free from a thrift store and we gessoed them. Next students sketched their rendering of their painting on the shoe. Finally, over a few weeks, we carefully painted them with acrylic paint. The result was so memorable my students still come back to visit and say they still have the shoe they painted and they treasure it!
