First Graders learned about the artist James Rizzi. He is famous for his whimsical paintings of Cityscapes. The first graders learned about the concept of overlapping a way to show space in a picture. The created their own cityscapes using overlapping and expressions. All of their buildings had to have a  face and windows. They are so creative and their drawings are super fun!

4th Grade Collage Illusions

In fourth grade students combined photos of themselves and used a ruler to make it appear as if the walls are closing in on them. They cut the image of themselves out an glued it to a black rectangle. They used a ruler to create a checkerboard. Colored it with marker and finally used a little charcoal around the black rectangle and on the corner lines. These turned out great and really gave the illusion of space in the pictures.
