Dodson Elementary: 2nd - 4th Grade
Art Teacher: Tina Penuel
The Artist Salad art (on the bulletin board) was created by 2nd graders. They studied photos of artists, then created their own artist salad.
The realistic and exaggerated people were created by 3rd Graders. They studied various portraits by Red Grooms, then chose a real person to draw using either a realistic or exaggerated style.
The diaramas were created by small groups of 4th graders. They studied Grooms’ diaramas, then created these. One class created rooms in our school, and the other created places in our Hermitage neighborhood.

The resulting paper sculpture self-portraits would look right at home in Red Grooms' bookstore!
