Notes

Not only is this a piece created in an elementary school class, but it is a depiction of the very same class in which it was created to be opened by Ellen twenty years later to remember this moment. Mrs. Clarke, the art teacher at Hawthorne Elementary School is pictured standing at the front of the classroom. The artist, Ellen’s, perspective shines through with the scale used and choice of clothing and classroom decorations drawn.
