Grace Martin Taylor (far left) teaching an art class.

Did you know I am related to a well-known artist? My great-great aunt Grace Martin Taylor was a well known American Artist!! She was born in Morgantown, WV and attended West Virginia University. (I was the 5th generation of my family to graduate from WVU!! The 6th generation starts next fall!!!) She was also an art teacher in WV at the college level. Click the link to the Power Point to learn more about my Aunt Grace! Look at some examples of her art and see how her artworks connect to what we are learning in class. There are questions to help guide you and your family as you look!!

This 3rd grade student is really using resources well!! I see the class Power Point, a unique visual image on a tablet, the architectural detail resource from the paper packet AND his work!! Well done!!
