Each color table has an artist. We haven't done much with these artists yet...but we will like we do every year :)
Usually we do a project based on an artist...either style or use of elements of art in their artwork.
Here's what getting artwork photographed and ready for a school competition looks like. This was May 2014. I put each grade level on index cards cut in half labeled "grade- painting number". Conway had an Art in Architecture competition every year in Spring. I decided to do it every grade level and see how they grow each year drawing the historic homes of Conway. Every child in the school does this project. The Conway schools receive guidelines and pictures of historic homes.
