4th Grade: Williams & Stetson


4th grade: Williams
These students looked at Pablo Picasso's contour outline drawings. After practicing timed and blind contour drawings, the students picked a subject based on Picasso and created the outline. Like Picasso, the students chose to emphasize a certain aspect of their drawing with color.



4th grade: Stetson
Paul Gauguin was the artist that this class studied. We talked about how the artist 'escaped' to paradise and looked at his work inspired by the islands. The students created their own 'Tahiti' landscape using paint as well as collage techniques.
