Expressions is an interdisciplinary/language arts unit where students will explore the elements of art and gain knowledge on famous artists and their artistic styles.

The students will research and explore famous artists and how they used their gifts and talents to create their art. Finally, students will write a biography of an artist and create a self-portrait in the style of given artist. Students will integrate fine arts, social studies, math, and English to create their final projects.
