Kehinde Wiley at the Harn

4th and 5th grade tudents studied the life and art of Kehinde Wiley. This project was inspired by a painting which was purchased by the Harn Museum of Art for the permanent collection. 4th graders went on a field trip to the Harn to see "The Dogon Couple" original and were blown away! The trip was funded through a Foundation for Success grant that Ms. Lindquist was awarded this year.


Here is Roderick with a drawing of himself as the Ingres' portrait of Napoleon I on His Imperial Throne, painted in 1806.


David did his self-portrait after Eugene Delacroix's portrait of Baron Schwiter painted in 1827.
