Aaron De La Cruz


Every Friday my students and I explore a new artist. This past Friday the students and I watched a short video of Aaron De La Cruz painting a mural. The students and I talked about how the artist uses thick, black lines to create murals. My students also wrote in their sketchbooks a reflection about Aaron De La Cruz by either responding with a sentence or drawing a picture. The most exciting part of the artist study was when my students made the connection between Aaron's line and the types of lines they are  currently using to complete their Van Gogh Style landscapes!


Here are two student examples of the Van Gogh style line landscapes that we are working on.
