Artist Statement

Fourth grade students in Mr. Lusk’s class created this collaborative art project. In 4th grade, students study portraiture. Students studied the work of Picasso and how he uses abstract color to express emotion.Each student created a portrait and they were placed in this box. Our theme, don’t put me in a box, I’m unique! Fourth grade teacher, Mr. Stephen Solomon, wrote this poem about our work:

""Do not exclude people for what they look like, include people for who they are" by Adam C. King Elementary, Ann Arbor Teacher O'Leary"
