Our Art Show Was Today!

         My kiddo's were so excited to finally share all the art we have been doing with their families at our art show.  Here is a quick tour of the exhibits:

Our Portrait Studies with a line self-portrait of the whole body, a painted self-portrait  and a portrait poem (in the hallway outside our classroom).

Our Still-Lifes that were inspired by Van Gogh.  The Sunflowers we painted are on the table we used for our fruit and cheese (no wine but I am enjoying a well-earned glass now :)

Each child made a square of this quilt with paper we had painted with liquid watercolor s and salt.  The patterns are to the right so that parents could figure out which one their child did by the pattern and color they chose.

Our Calder Stabile Sculptures (coming out of grass) and wire mobiles hanging from the ceiling.

Our Kandinsky inspired circles (still my favorite!) and our Purple Crayon inspired line drawings.

We listened to music and then drew what the music made us think of.  

A collaborative mosaic made out of plastic bottle caps we collected.

We illustrated Pattern, Shape, and Color (elements of art) on our windows. I put out big sheets of contact paper and the kids covered them with appropriate examples (patterned paper, fun foam shapes and tissue paper colors).

Our Mouse Paint inspired palettes that show primary and secondary colors.

                                       

Our Jackson Pollack inspired splatter paintings (in the hallway leading to our classroom).

Our Monet inspired landscapes that we painted en plein air like Monet and our collaborative rolled paper collage.

Our families enjoying the show.


Whew, I'm tired.  Just one more week to get all the end of the year stuff I want to do finished!
