School Spirit Friday!
For this project, students in art studied the works of Cubism from master painters Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Students were challenged to draw a repeating shape and fracture the image. They then rearranged the pieces to create a fracture cubist inspired oil pastel drawing. They did such a great job!!
We all know that parent pick-up lines can bring frustrations, but we want to say thank you for being so patient with our process! We couldn't do it without awesome parents like you!
