Abintra Art - Week 8 (2012 - 2013 School Year)
LE continued their study of the elements of design by focusing on “form” this week. With the help of Middle School, they formed the solar system out of yarn. They wrapped yarn around a balloon to form a planet, then soaked the yarn covered balloon in glue. When the glue completely dried we popped the balloon and saw how the yarn kept the form of the planet. This beautiful collaboration piece will be displayed in their classroom.
ME & UE participated in their second TPAC study unit with Steve West. This week they created drum patterns for the song they wrote during their first lesson with Steve.
ME & UE visited the Frist to see the exhibition of Carrie Mae Weems: Three Decades of Photography & Video. “Carrie Mae Weems is a socially motivated artist whose works invite contemplation on issues surrounding race, gender and class. Increasingly, she has broadened her view to include global struggles for equality and justice.” MS will have the opportunity to see this exhibition at the end of the month.
UE also had the exciting opportunity to make paper this week as they continue their study of the timeline of civilization. They learned how the Chinese invented paper out of rags, hemp, China grass, etc in 105 AD. Then in the mid 1700s in France, a man discovered wasps making paper out of wood. Below is paper UE made 100% from a recycled wasp’s nest.
