Jasper Johns, a master American artist, was the first to use everyday objects as his subject matter. One of his most famous paintings was just a grid with many numbers. Some math teachers find this art project helpful to have students practice lining up columns of numbers.1. I printed up sheets of paper that were already divided into three columns of three squares. Ask the students to write single digit numbers only from the top left to the bottom right square in pencil.
2. The students are to trace all the numbers with a thick black marker.
3. Pass out lots of oil pastels and instruct students to color in each square, adding details as they desire.

You inspire me so much to do different types of art with my kids! Thank you for that! I LOVE your artist highlights and have started doing then too.
Thank you for all the great projects! I left you an award at http://almostunschoolers.blogspot.com/2010/02/beautiful-blogger-and-sunshine-awards.html
I am sure that those Jasper Johns Numbers are really helpful when teaching lads. In a nutshell, this is the art that worths by itself!
This seems really easy. I like that it allows the kids to be creative, but also helps them in another subject (math). I'd like to try it with my second graders!

I'm going to do this project for New Years with my class of 4th graders. We'll make a Jasper Johns 2012. Thanks!
