Joseph Yoakum (1889 - 1972)
Sixth Grade Animations
Joseph Yoakum was a self-taught landscape artist of African-American and Native American descent. His landscapes incorporated mountains, natural formation and bodies of water. In sixth grade, our students study the Chicago River as part of science and ecology studies.
For this sixth grade project, students created animations in Photoshop Elements and music in Garageband, reflecting what they have learned this year about the river.
