What educators are saying
Description
Known as the "Princess of Polka Dots", this Yayoi Kusama art project will be a HUGE hit with your students—it was with mine! My students LOVE that she has such bright red hair and that she uses polka dots all over her art. I have created the poster to reflect polka dots to honor the "Princess."

Resource Details
Poster #1: Yayoi Kusama Collaboration Poster: Coloring
** GREAT FOR ANY AGE ** This lesson is very easy. Each student is given one section of a large mosaic poster to color according to the instructions on each sheet. Once all sheets are colored and cut out, they are then assembled to reveal a large mosaic/poster/mural of Kusama. You will need crayons, colored pencils, or markers in red, orange, pink, and purple.
Poster Details:
- There are 30 pieces.
- Each piece fits on a regular 8.5" x 11" piece of paper.
- The final poster is approximately 35" x 42" depending on your printer settings.
- You will need markers, crayons, or colored pencils in red, orange, pink, and purple.
Poster #2: Yayoi Kusama Collaboration Poster: Drawing
** Ideal for middle school, high school students, and art students** This lesson is not hard but is more challenging than the coloring version in poster #1. In this lesson, each student will draw their own grid piece using a small version of their assigned gridcell as a reference. Once the pieces are drawn and cut out, you can assemble the classroom poster. This lesson engenders a lot of cooperation among students to get all of the drawings within the individual gridcells to line up well and produce a nice looking final poster of Kusama. This is all about working together!
BONUS Activities:
Group collaboration posters are a lot of fun and leave a lasting impression. However, students don’t get to walk away with anything tangible to show their families. I have created a variety of handouts that individual students can work on when they are finished with their poster piece. This is also very useful for early finishers.
The handouts are for a variety of levels, so you can find one that fits your grade level. Included are:
- Unscramble the portrait drawing.
- Unscramble the portrait cut and paste (with two grid variations).
- Yayoi Kusama coloring page.
