Spring is here! There are so many types of flowers and they all have their beginnings as either seeds or bulbs. Lois Ehlert's book, Planting a Rainbow, provides a rudimentary explanation of how flowers grow. In art, we used her book to demonstrate the color wheel through different floral compositions. Look closely and you'll see how students arranged their flowers in ROYGBIV (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet) order. They carefully drew, traced and cut out their flowers to create a variety that echoed Ehlert's illustrations. They are currently on display in the main hallway.
