We cropped our photos and came in close like Georgia O'Keeffe. We enlarged them and in many cases changed the background. Then we chose a color group we have been studying. Now we are learning to blend the pastels to create different values.

1900 Gallery

Jack Esela (8th Grade) is being honored at the 1900 Gallery Show Reception on Thursday, March 14, 2013. His oil pastel drawing of a cropped panda using a triad of colors was chosen to represent Franklin in the 1900 Gallery at the District Board Office. This piece will hang in the gallery at the office building for one year. The composition works great and the colors chosen “grab your attention”. Great work, Jack! Your piece will represent us well.
