Art Show!!!

Thanks to everyone who attended this year's Art Show. Your continued support reinforces the importance of arts in everyone's life.

• This year’s work included clay food inspired by artist Claes Oldenburg which was created by grade 5.  
• Inspired by the big Matisse show at the Museum of Fine Arts students in grade 2 did their own version of one of two Matisse masterpieces using oil crayons making sure to incorporate objects and patterns.
• In grade 3, students used their knowledge of contrast, scale and perspective to create beautiful compositions of colorful flying watercolor butterflies on black and white backgrounds.
• Artist Jasper John’s paintings of letters were the inspiration for the painted negative space initials paintings by K1.
• After sculpting life-like mice, 4th grade used recycled materials to construct little rooms for the mice to inhabit.
• Before students painted self-portraits in K2 they used mirrors to carefully observe themselves.
• Fluorescent paint circles stamped on black paper provided an outer space background for their collaged paper spaceships.
• Pre-school students were assisted by grade 6 students in creating digital puppets on iPads. 
• After designing illuminations of their initials 6th graders tried metalworking to create a low relief Repoussé.

All art work displayed in the art show will be available for on-line viewing later this week at Artsonia.com.
