Perspectives in Paris

ABOUT 

This activity center is a great way to integrate art with literacy! Students can learn about media, elements, and artistic styles through quality literature and hands-on experiences. 

Students can learn from the information presented on the board presented by Hugo and Miles.

They can then step into the artist's studio and try their hand at creating a piece of art with a new perspective. 

Then they can display their new creation on the line or in the window. 

After this, they can read all about Hugo and Miles' Parisian adventure.
