Students looked at the artwork of artist Lisa Congdon and discussed her colorful, bright, and positive artistic style. They created an original book cover using bold colors, shapes, and lines to fill the space in Congdon's grid like fashion. Then they decided on a positive title to their unique book and put together all of the pieces to have a finished and completed bound book. Here are pictures of their front covers. 

Students looked at the artwork of Ethiopian American artist, Julie Mehretu and created their own abstract paintings inspired by the layering effect that Mehretu applies to her own work.
