A Place of Honor!

Our class was chosen, along with Mrs. Mower's (4/C), to display some art work at the district office. Each month a different school is chosen to showcase some of their talented artists.

We gathered both classes together for an art lesson on Pablo Picasso. Our conversation consisted geometric words and analyzing the colors of the spectrum.

We decided to create portrait in the style of Picasso. We focused on scale and symmetry. We even measured our own faces. Once the faces were drawn in pencil, we traced our pencil lines in Sharpie pens...now we were committed! We added color using chalk (Was it ever messy! Thank goodness for baby wipes!)


We were able to display 30 student masterpieces on the District Office Auxillary Building bulletin board. It was so hard to choose as ALL of the students did such a nice job. The rest of the art work is on display in Mrs. Mower's bulletin board as she is off track.

Both Mrs. Mower and I are super impressed by how carefully the students worked. They should be very proud of their artwork and the "places of honor" that they are now displayed!
