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! |
