Laurel Burch Inspired Cats
In fourth grade we looked at the artworks of Laurel Burch an American Artist and designer born in California. Students were asked to design a sitting cat using very basic lines. Next they were encouraged to use three different tones of chalk pastels and color in the cat and then another three tones of a different color to blend together for the background. The final step was to add a pattern into the cat or into the background. The fourth graders did an awesome job. For fun we ended our project by naming our cats. Please say hello to Angel, Whiskers, Blue Thunder, Tiger,and Ruby.
