January Mystery Artist
1. Born in Minneapolis on November 26, 1922, this artist knew as early as Kindergarten that he wanted to be a cartoonist.
2. In 1949, he submitted some of his comic strips called "Li'l Folks," but the publishers insisted on calling them "Peanuts" since "Li'l Folks" was too similar to another comic strip. The artist was very upset about it's new title.
3. On October 2, 1950 this nutty comic made its debuts in seven newspapers. The comic strips told the story and challenges of a wishy-washy boy, his beagle, and neighborhood friends. Many of the challenges and failures of the characters were inspired by the artist's actual life.

The Louvre in Paris is one of the foremost art museums in the world. The structure was originally a royal fortress built in the 12th century. In 1546, a new building was erected on the site, and more have been added over the years to house a collection that includes the Venus of Milo. Every year, more than 5 million visitors view these masterpieces.
If you could visit any museum, which one would you choose? What do you want to see there?

January Mystery Artist
1. Born in Minneapolis on November 26, 1922, this artist knew as early as Kindergarten that he wanted to be a cartoonist.
2. In 1949, he submitted some of his comic strips called "Li'l Folks," but the publishers insisted on calling them "Peanuts" since "Li'l Folks" was too similar to another comic strip. The artist was very upset about it's new title.
3. On October 2, 1950 this nutty comic made its debuts in seven newspapers. The comic strips told the story and challenges of a wishy-washy boy, his beagle, and neighborhood friends. Many of the challenges and failures of the characters were inspired by the artist's actual life.

5th Grade-Pop Art Painting: We will use the works of Andy Warhol and other Pop Artists to learn about color and the color wheel. Students will be picking their Pop Art subject matter and sketching it on canvas board. We began with primary colors and now are moving on to Secondary and Complementary colors!

The Louvre in Paris is one of the foremost art museums in the world. The structure was originally a royal fortress built in the 12th century. In 1546, a new building was erected on the site, and more have been added over the years to house a collection that includes the Venus of Milo. Every year, more than 5 million visitors view these masterpieces.
If you could visit any museum, which one would you choose? What do you want to see there?
