Fifth grade students at Rosa Parks-Edison Elementary School teamed up to defend an artist, Rembrandt vs. Rouault debates. After that, they created their own expressive portraits in the style of Rouault. Each student began by creating a web that shared emotions they feel and reasons behind them. Then, they chose a feeling and communicated it in their portrait through physical expression, oil pastel technique and color choice.
