For the perfect "sampler platter" of sights and activities on a California coast road trip, I recommend planning 3 days from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

Students in third grade learned about the artist David Hockney. We focused especially on his California influenced pool paintings from the 60's and 70's. I saw a similar project on the blog "Kids Artists". The students were focusing on line, shape, and color while working on these. We also spent a good bit of time thinking about how our hair and body look different when submerged under water. The kids loved creating the look of weightlessness in their self portrait. Hockney used interesting techniques to create the effect of light shining in on the water of his pool paintings and we tried to recreate that. I love how they all look so much like the child that made them. Great job third graders!

* Aren’t these sculptures beautiful? They were created by Holly A. Senn from discarded library books. In these labor-intensive works she explores the life cycle of ideas—how ideas are generated, dispersed, referenced or forgotten. Holly received a M.L.I.S. from the University of California, Berkeley, and a B.A. from Mills College. You can visit her website to see […]
