Last week, Room 221 listened to "The Colors of Us" by, Karen Katz. It's a story of a young girl's walk through her neighborhood as she notices the beautiful and unique shades of each person's skin. She returns home to mix white, black, red and yellow paint to recreate each skin tone and paint portraits of her friends.
221 artists also mixed paint to find their own, unique skin color. They painted the shade onto a plain piece of paper which they will used to cut out their face and create their self portrait in collage. We noticed and celebrated the difference of each one. Hopefully you saw them hanging in our classroom with our "I am from... poems." Next week, Mrs. Martell will take photographs of each, record each child reading their poem and post them to the web for you all to enjoy.
