4th grade students were reading stories around the theme of journey.
Students interpreted and analyzed Winslow Homer’s painting The Herring Net and explored how the artist communicated the theme journey.
Class as a whole then planned out a narrative about what happened before Homer’s painting The Herring Net takes place and what happens after.
Students working in teams of 2 then planned and created collages for different parts of the narrative artwork.
