Grant Wood Art Project

This week in Room 24, we studied about an artist named Grant Wood.  If you don't know, he is known for creating one of the most famous pieces of art named American Gothic.  The students learned about his life, how he got into painting, and why he painted the things he painted.  In the end, the students drew their version of American Gothic.  The four key elements to their drawings were detail, layering, shading, and taking their time.  This was pretty fun and it was nice to see the students express themselves through their drawings.  Check out some artwork from our wanna be Grant Woods!
