In this presentation, art education majors will present a unit of study that they completed with third and fourth graders from the Thomas Reynolds Center's after school program. The unit introduced students to contemporary artists utilizing text and image to convey visual and verbal meanings. Children were prompted to combine text and image in ways that conveyed aspects of their identities and emotions. The young artists used iPad applications to take and manipulate photographs of themselves, their peers, or their teachers. Students continued to use those photographs to inspire monoprints that conveyed their emotions and paintings that conveyed activities they enjoy.
