I see out my window.
This week in art, first grade students were introduced to two new artists. The first was the abstract artist Henri Matisse (1898-1976). He was a master at using color lines and shapes to express feelings. The second artist was Alexander Calder(1869-1954). He was famous for making wire sculptures with simple lines.
