CD Covers

Sixth grade students were lead through an incredible painting/portrait lesson by our very talented student teacher, Ms. Richardson. 

Ms. Richardson showed the students many examples of artistic album covers, and pop art portraits.  Students were limited to four colors, with black being the final addition.  Composition, symbolism, and color placement were all important consideration in these fantastic paintings.

At the end of the project, the class participated in a positive peer critique, or "gallery walk" as we call it.  It's always encouraging to see and hear kids at this age be able to appreciate eachother's talents.
