2nd Grade: Leicester & Arellano


2nd grade: Arellano
Paul Klee inspired these 'warm' portraits. In class we talked about warm versus cool colors as well as shape. The students painted the background and used tissue paper for the head and shoulders.

2nd grade: Leicester
These students found out why this painting is called American Gothic by Grant Wood. Who knew that a window could be so important! The students also agreed that this couple probably did NOT spend a lot of time relaxing and watching TV, and that the woman looked a little mean. The students did a great job capturing expression!
