Alma Thomas - Year 2

Yesterday, year 2 created some artwork following the style of Alma Thomas.

Alma Thomas loved using bright and bold colours in her paintings and she would regularly use small rectangle blocks in her art. Her creativity was inspired by science and nature. She made history in 1971 by becoming the first Black woman given a solo show at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York at age 81, and again in 2015 by becoming the first Black woman to have a work of art picked by the White House Collection.

Below is the artwork which the children created...
