Four Corners artists fill projects with snow, hearts
SUPERIOR — Students at Four Corners Elementary School have created pop art, weavings and snowmen to share.
The fifth grade students created “Works of Heart.” Their pop art pieces were inspired by artist Jim Dine. They used paint in colors of their choice for a background, and construction paper to cut out hearts.

Inspired by artist Andy Warhol, fourth grade students made pop art snowpeople.
The third grade students learned about perspective by drawing the same snowperson from three different angles, or points of view. They also learned about shading and adding shadow to the area away from the light source.
Romero Britto-inspired “Works of Heart” were created by second grade students. They used rules to divide the space into sections and then colored them with mixed media. The focus was to use colors that made them happy.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
