Virginia Parton, grade 1, “Elmer,” cut paper/colored pencil, 12×14 in.
“Elmer’s Special Day” is a lovely story about inclusion. Students created their own Elmer focusing on patterns and colors of their choosing. Ginny’s artwork illustrates patterns and color that are organized and balanced. Additionally, Ginny creates an environment that shows Elmer is “in front” of the trees and “behind” the grass which is a collage technique emphasized.
