Mrs. Halvorson's 3rd grade art class is

studying Architect Designs and the

work of Louis Sullivan.

They took a field trip to the bank to

see things first hand. 

Bank employee Peggy

gave them a little history about

Louis Sullivan's life and the different

materials that he worked with

seen in the entry way of the bank.

Material included the red brick, terra

cotta molds, marble lintel, stain glass

windows and the horizontal lines, all

trademarks that he was famous for.

Some of his trademarks reminded him

of the prairies & urban places he

visited growing up in Massachusetts.

Below are a couple of pictures

that the children drew after

their visit to the bank.
