Robert Indiana's FOUR Letter Word Project

Picture
Robert Indiana is an artist. He's a printmaker. He's a painter. He's a sculptor. He's a visionary. Robert Indiana wrote a poem about love as a child and turned that into a calling.  He wanted to spread "Love" and "Hope" throughout the world and found a way to do it.  The Keystone Second Graders create four equal sized squares, draw each letter and then give each letter a shadow (making it 3D).  They decorate each letter as they wish.
