Artist of The Month

At my school we also do an artist and composer of the month. We have a music and art teacher that come in every week. Our music teacher will play a piece of music from the composer of the month, and will teach a little bit about that composer. 

Our art teacher will start each lesson with some background information on the artist of the month, and will then give an art lesson on the style of that artist. I love it, and so do my students. Not only do they learn, but so do I :) 

Our artist this month is Rene Magritte. Since it's October, this week my students did Pumpkins and Jack-O'-Lanterns in his surrealist style. 

I think they came out pretty great and I can't wait for the next art piece we do in our class.
