Alma Thomas Inspires Pre-Prep

The children have been learning about Alma Thomas. She was an inspiring, African American artist who painted abstract pictures of trees and nature. She made history in 1971 by becoming the first African American woman to give a solo show in the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York at age 81. She also has artwork displayed in the White House. The children worked together collaboratively to make their own Alma Thomas artwork, they used paint and natural objects they found to create their mixed media painting.
