Third grader's in Mrs. Kruger's class were given a special Valentine's Day (PTA sponsored) Art Talk on Pop Artist, Jim Dine. Born June 16, 1935 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He is an American painter, graphic artist, sculptor, and poet who emerged during the Pop Art period as an innovative creator of works that combine the painted canvas with ordinary objects of daily life. His persistent themes included those of personal identity, memory, and the body. He is particularly associated with the bathrobe and the stylized heart.
The students used oil pastels on black construction paper to create art inspired by Jim Dine's prolific series of hearts.
