Honoring and celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the art classroom

This past Friday, in honor of the upcoming MLK jr. holiday, first and second artists drew portraits of MLK jr.  They first looked at two portraits on display, identified the man in the portraits, and discussed with a partner what they knew about MLK jr.  They then quickly got to work observing photocopies of the portraits on display and created their own.
