arcimboldo portraits

4th Graders learned about the interesting artwork of Guiseppe Arcimboldo, an Italian artist from the 1500's. Students were inspired by Arcimboldo's creative combination of vegetables and fruits to create their own unique portraits.

Winter action drawings

4th grade students analyzed famous artworks to understand how artists create the feeling of movement. Students chose a winter sport or active hobby and used diagonal lines to help the people look like they are moving. To reflect on their artwork, students chose to complete an Artist Statement or create a poem or story about their drawing.
