1st grade artists learned about 2 female artists, Alma Woodsey-Thomas and Mary Blair. Alma Woodsey-Thomas is famous for being the first African American woman to have a painting in the White House. Her paintings are full of bright colors, usually about nature and light, and have dashed brush strokes. Mary Blair is known for her incredibly colorful animation work for Disney, and was personally asked by Walt Disney himself to design the It’s a Small World ride in Magin Kingdom. Her design features tall towers of block like shapes with whimsical decorations. Students used a mash up of the artists’ styles to create frozen ice castles on shimmering painted backgrounds.
