First Grade

Print by Eloise Renouf

Retro Flowers
 
The final project for the first graders was inspired by the work of Eloise Renouf.  Her style is inspired by mid 20th century prints and textiles.  The students were given squares of card stock in a limited color palette which they trimmed to make the basic shapes for their flowers and leaves.  They could choose to layer multiple shapes or use colored pencils to make their flowers more elaborate.  Black sharpies were used to add the stems and additional patterns.
