Abintra Art - Week 9 (2012 - 2013 School Year)
ECA has been integrating the life and work of Henri Matisse in their geography, geometry and math lessons. The children compared and contrasted two works of art by the artist: Harmony in Red and Les Betes de la Mer. The children were fascinated by many different aspects found in the art pieces. Some liked the spirals and "organic shapes" in the cut outs and others liked the fruit found in the earlier painting. The children enjoyed themselves so much they requested they work on two collaborative art pieces over the course of two days.
ECB students have been studying circles and the medium of painting. The project below was based specifically on the book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. The students created their artwork, through the process of stamping, using different circular objects, including sponges, spools, corks, and tops.
With the change of seasons, ECC students are incorporating leaves into their artwork. They have been practicing the art of stamping leaves. They have also been doing leaf rubbings using fall leaves found on the Abintra campus.
LE wrapped up their study of the elements of designs with and exercise on space. They took a fall inspired subject and created two drawings of it, focusing one on the positive space and the other on the negative space.
ME and UE finished their TPAC study unit with Steve West. Steve brought in a mixing board and mic to do a recording of the song. To view a clip of this process, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnI62JakKYg
UE learned about the art of Chinese calligraphy. After spending a significant amount of time practicing, the students wrote in calligraphy on the paper they made last week.
MS took advantage of this beautiful season by picking a spot on campus to do a drawing of utilizing the skills they have been practicing with the previous contour drawing exercises.
