Characters from Children's Books

 

The fourth grade paints characters from children's books

 For the last three weeks I have been working with the entire fourth grade at the Resurrection St. Paul School in Ellicott City, Maryland where we have been creating a three panel mural that will be installed outside the new library at the school.  The project has been jointly funded by the Maryland State Arts Council and the school.

The mural depicts a fantasy world that is peopled by characters from beloved children's books.  It is a joy to be creating a project at a school that understands the importance of art in the school curriculum.
