The art rooms were transformed into botanical still life arrangements for students to paint images from observation and to incorporate innovation. Students were able to touch and smell Tulsi, Mint, Sunflowers, Swiss Chard, and many other herbs and vegetables grown in the school gardens. What a great time students had mixing colors and painting their colorful creations! Take a look at our garden gallery. In the first art classes of the year students PreK through Grades 6 drew portraits from observation using mirrors. They looked at portraits generated by Giuseppe Arcimboldo, an Italian painter best known for creating imaginative portrait heads made of objects as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, and books. The portraits will remain in the art room until the Sixth Grade Moving-Up Ceremony, when students will receive a collection of Self Portraits created over their elementary school years. |
