The Barstow School features giraffe art created by the second grade students of Bridget Kukuk and inspired by the whimsical drawings of American Modernist Charley Harper. The works include simple, geometric shapes, patterns and vivid color using oil pastels and watercolor to bring their illustrations to life. Each student’s art is titled with their first name.
