Fourth Grade

Currently Working On

In March, fourth grade artists will continue exploring Pop Art style. Inspired by bold colors and graphic techniques seen in works by Roy Lichtenstein, students will create comic book–style self-portraits. They will focus on strong outlines and expressive details. Each artist will also design a fun, comic-inspired background to complete their dynamic composition.
