Art Museum Perspective Drawings

During this lesson students learned about American artist, Norman Rockwell, and his famous illustrations. They used two-point perspective to create these wonderful museum paintings and then inserted a digital self-portrait into their work to make it appear as if they are viewing the art in their own museum designs.

4th Graders Visit the High Museum of Art

Our fourth grade students had a great time learning about art and literacy at the High Museum this week! They experienced the I See Literacy Tour during our visit which teaches students how to read artwork in the same way we read text by looking carefully at the artwork to see its details and making inferences based on what you see. They also participated in a hands on workshop to illustrate their own book cover inspired by an actual work of art from the museum! Way to go students!
