100 years of Art 1913-2013

During the past month students have been creating art with the last 100 years in mind. Our school, NMES, is turning 100 this year. And to celebrate this, the school community is creating lots of projects around the past 100 years. In art we are learning about influential artists of the past century. Each grade is focusing on a specific 20 years. Here is the list:
5th Grade: 1913-1933
4th Grade: 1933-1953
3rd Grade: 1953-1973
2nd Grade: 1973-1993
1st Grade: 1993-2013

Each grade will focus on artists from their time period. We have been busy learning about all sorts of artists, I am compiling a list below. So check back often to see who your child is learning about!
