Mercer 3rd grade artists looked at the artwork by Jacob Lawrence and Faith Ringgold, identifying what stories the artists were telling in their work. Students practiced and then used gesture drawing to express daily life now or a goal for their future! They added details or colored in the silhouette before choosing lines and colors to create emphasis on the person they drew!
