This 6th grade project is inspired by the art work of Alberto Cerriteno. Alberto Cerriteno is a Mexican surrealism artist who has developed his own very personal technique and style. You’ll notice delicate hints of traditional Mexican artistic influences in his use of rich textures and decorative patterns. Before class we viewed a PowerPoint presentation of his work and then looking at images of his work, the students tried to imitate his style. Check out his art at http://www.albertocerriteno.com/artwork01.html.
Supplies:
- Art of Alberto Cerriteno (PowerPoint)
- Art of Alberto Cerriteno (Images)
- White drawing paper
- Pencil and eraser
- Colored pencils or crayons
Directions:
- View the PowerPoint of Alberto Cerriteno art and discuss his style and use of color.

Thank you, Alberto C for your inspiring art. The students and I thoroughly enjoyed looking at your art and trying to imitate it.
I just stumbled upon on this site and just want to thank to the teacher and in special to the students who drew amazing versions of my illustrations.
This is amazing! 🙂
Thank you so much.
