By third grade, students have established a foundation of art-making that they can build upon. We examine at how artists approach subject matter; portraits, landscapes, still-lives and non-representational. We investigate from where artists draw their ideas and inspiration. We probe into artwork formed by observation, imagination and memories.
Artists teach us to observe. Artists illustrate how they make artwork from their observations.
Marc Chagall

Bridget Riley
Riley pushes our understanding of abstraction to non-representational.
Frida Kahlo
Kahlo artwork exemplifies how artists weave personal narratives in their artwork.
