The Artist Salad art (on the bulletin board) was created by 2^nd graders.  They studied photos of artists, then created their own artist salad.

The realistic and exaggerated people were created by 3^rd 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 4^th graders.  They studied Grooms’ diaramas, then created these.  One class created rooms in our school, and the other created places in our Hermitage neighborhood.

Second graders created sculpto-pictoramas inspired by Red Grooms' installation at the Hudson River Museum called "The Bookstore". After exploring the characters in the piece, students discovered that the exaggerations made them more interesting and entertaining then they would if they were more realistic. The resulting paper sculpture self-portraits would look right at home in Red Grooms' bookstore!

The materials were, file folders, colored pencils, Matt board, and 3-D o's.
