Third-grade students created a fractured fall artwork in art class. After selecting and sketching a fall-themed subject, they incorporated neurographic-inspired lines by guiding a penny across their paper to encourage slow, intentional mark-making. Once the lines were complete, students rounded all intersections and added color, choosing a background in the complementary color of their dominant hue. These young artists are more than ready for fall! This artwork is displayed in the Franklin Gallery outside our gym/auditorium!
We think this is it! We can't wait until next year!
More photos! So much goodness!
