Prepare worksheets the day before the lesson, providing each student with their first initial and space to write their name in block letters. (You can find the worksheets I used [HERE]) Demonstrate how to create easy block letters and instruct students to write their names using this style. Guide students to divide the background and initial into smaller sections. Encourage them to fill in the worksheet using markers and Britto-style patterns, creating a visually stunning design. And as a final touch… let’s offer to add some glitter!
Lesson Idea 2: My Favorite Things Drawing
Engage teen artists by drawing an enlarged image of their absolute favorite food, hobby, sport, dessert, or activity! Encourage them to study Romero Britto’s artworks and incorporate Britto-inspired patterns, as well as their own pattern ideas that convey their personal favorites. For older students, challenge them to combine three overlapping images for an extra creative twist!

Enrich these activities, complement them with educational videos easily accessible on platforms like YouTube. It adds an extra layer of engagement and inspiration to the art experience.
