1st Grade Family Portraits
The family is one of nature's masterpieces.
-- George Santayana
The family is certainly one of nature’s masterpieces and here is an expression of this in these beautiful Family Portrait paintings created by the artists in the 1st grade classes. The students explored drawing the human face then created paintings of themselves at the center of the composition with their family all around.
Wonderful!
