The Picturing America curriculum has been a great success with the students. I have been showing the students in grades 3-8 a piece of American art every week. This week the artist has been Thomas Eakins. He was a very famous watercolor painter in the 1860's-1890's. Last week the students learned about quilts and there importance to American History.
The 8th graders just finished a landscape painting done in acrylics.
The 6th graders are starting a biblical quilt made out of paper.
