6th graders looked at some artwork by Clarence Carter showing animals looking over a wall. They used this idea to make their own portrait over a wall featuring an inspirational quote. We also looked at artwork that shares a message. Picasso's Guernica and Haring's artwork sharing a message about AIDS were 2 artworks we also looked at.

We talked about color and students created a color sequence on the silhouette using dots. We looked at artwork by Yayoi Kusama as inspiration. Here are the 6th grade artists by their masterpieces! |
