Art News:
This week, 6th Graders will be learning about artist Kehinde Wiley and making portraits inspired by his works. Students will chose a pose based off an "old master" painting and have their picture taken. They will use stencils to create bright, beautiful backgrounds for their photographs and make paper frames. Finally, we will hang the portraits in the hall to be exhibited. This project places a high prominence on craftsmanship and curation.
