2/3s Become Familiar with Marc Chagall's Paintings

The Russian artist, Marc Chagall, painted whimsical fantasies based on recognizable images; weightless people flying through the air, cows in the sky, off balance buildings, etc. After looking at his art and learning about his life, the 2/3s tried their hand at a similar whimsical composition working with oil pastels on black construction paper.
