Students Practice Geometry Skills through ART!

Students looked at a variety of art work to see the different geometric shapes. Students studied the art work of Jean Ware, a native of Mississippi, who now resides in Texas. Mrs. Land was able to purchase a picture of Forest, MS that was painted by Mrs. Ware. Mrs. Land was excited about the picture because she grew up in Forest and the picture was a reminder of those early days in Forest. The students were challenged to think of elements of design in the picture and create their own picture of a "made-up" town.


Zamaiya is very excited about the town that she has created.
Georgia has some of the same buildings as the artist, Jean Ware.
Squares, Triangles, Rhombus, and Parallelograms, WOW!!!

I see a Rhombus, a Trapezoid, and a Parallelogram!!!
Shibrena's picture is as neat as she is.
Jordan gets a better look. Mrs. Land takes very good care of her prized picture!!!


Having fun as we learn!!!


KeShawn wants to know if this is a fence or a railroad track????

Mrs. Ware did a wonderful job painting this picture of Forest, MS. Mrs. Land is very proud of the picture. She remembers shopping in some of the stores in later years.
