Were you able to visit the Chihuly exhibition at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (OCT 20, 2012 – FEB 10, 2013)? So many students have told me that they were able to experience this wonderful exhibit. Please let us know about your visit. What was your favorite piece? Why? How did you feel when you walked through this exhibit? What piece do you think was the most difficult to create? Why? Thank you for sharing your comments below! Our current projects include:
Kindergarten - We finished our Winter Self Portraits (portrait, watercolor resist) and are creating fabulous "Cardinal in Snowy Tree" paintings (using shapes to create form, painting skills, VA state bird) 1st Grade - Busy! Finished Cuckoo Clocks (watercolor resist, telling time) and Snowy Landscape (creating depth and perspective). We will be starting a Henri Matisse-inspired musical collage next week. 2nd Grade - Beautiful Blue Dogs (George Rodrigue, tint and shade) are just finished! We are beginning Self Portraits (with a surprise). 3rd Grade - Finished wonderful Birch Tree Landscapes (creating depth, new painting technique) and will be starting a Big and Bright Animal painting. 4th Grade - We just finished a Magazine Collage (they worked hard!) and are beginning a Roy Lichtenstein-inspired Self Portrait using the iPads (SketchbookX app). 5th Grade - Finished a Kimmy Cantrell inspired Abstract Face drawing using Crayola Slick Stix. The drawing was also used as a plan for a CLAY version which we have created. They are looking amazing and will be glazed soon! Just a quick post to let you know I have updated the list recently. You can find it on the "Art Studio News" link.
I am so excited to hear that so many NF students have been able to visit this fabulous exhibit! It has been fun to hear their stories and know that they have experienced the art in person. The exhibit runs until February 10th.
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and winter break.
We are back to business in the art studio! Please come back soon and visit our galleries for new work - Kindergarten Winter Portraits, 1st grade Cuckoo Clocks, 2nd grade Blue Dogs, 3rd grade Birch Tree Landscapes, 4th grade Chihuly Paintings as well as Magazine Collages and 5th grade Kimmy Cantrell inspired faces. Here's to a creative 2013! |
