Fourth graders are currently studying the work of William H. Johnson. Johnson is well-known for his use of bold colors and simple shapes in his portraits. Students were required to choose a person to be the subject of their artwork. They were allowed to choose themselves, a friend, a family member, or even someone famous. The students also had to choose an object that is important to their person, or that represents their person in some way. Next, we will be mixing paint to create skin tones and painting our portraits with tempera.
