Graham Classroom Project - 32 Monkeys

We hope to be posting more and more classroom projects as they come in. Check out "32 Monkeys" an art piece from Graham's 5th grade class. Thanks to Sharon Kurk for putting this together and working with the kids!

This art piece has been inspired by the most current artist the kids have been studying in FAME. Chinese artist, Wang Yani, was born in 1975 and started painting at a very young age. By the time she was three years old, Yani had already created paintings in the bold, dynamic style that would characterize all her work. By age six, Yani had completed over four thousand paintings. In 1989, she achieved something truly unheard of in the art world: at just fourteen years of age, she became the youngest person ever to have a oneperson show at the famous Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Her exhibition was called “Yani: The Brush of Innocence.” Very inspiring for our kids!
