28"x38" torn paper on paper

Inspired by a holly tree in her yard, Washington, D.C. artist Alma Woodsey Thomas developed a new style of painting that brought together bright, powerful colors in small, rectangular shapes inside circular shapes.

Inspired by Alma Thomas' modern masterpieces and by all forms of nature, Mrs. Potts' Fourth Graders present a cheerful, thoughtful collection of torn paper works on paper. 

Thomas was the first African American to graduate from Howard University's Art School and had the honor of being the first African American woman to be granted a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.  Now you can grant your talented fourth grade artist a solo exhibit in your home.
