Mrs.+Baumgartner's+Class

===Mrs. Baumgartner's class concentrated on the art of Jose' Clemente Orozco. Orozco wanted to paint the struggles of the common man and give power to 'the people' through his art. He was a very influencial muralist in Mexico and was known as a 'social realist'. Many times he used images of soldiers, farmers, and workers. Our main goal was to recreate some of Orozco's work by focusing on the distinct shapes he used in his paintings. The students began by cutting out the basic shapes they saw and then glued them in a sequence similar to Orozco's. Below are the samples they could choose from. Can you tell which one they picked? Can you still 'sense' the story in the young artist's work? ===
