Abintra Art - Week 13 (2012 - 2013 School Year)
In ECA, students do a sewing activity while learning the vocabulary in Spanish: aguja (needle), hilo (thread), nudo (knot), coser(sew), cortar (cut), tijeras (scissors).
ECB created a representation of the Earth's core with red as the inner core, orange as the outer core, yellow as the mantle, and black as the crust. The students are creating these through pin punching, using a push pin to create the shape, which strengthens the three-finger grasp. This is a continuation of our study of the Earth's core, providing the students with the opportunity to experience the lesson in another form, incorporating movement and fine motor skills.
ECC took some time during November to study the beautiful season of fall. Each child created their own unique fall tree using paper bags and torn pieces of construction paper.
LE kicked off their study of printmaking this week. Using leaves that have fallen on campus, the students did positive and negative prints. They used a gelatin base and rolled ink on it. They then placed leaves of their choice on the ink. When they pressed their paper on top, the paper soaked up the ink from the gelatin. This gave them a negative print of their leaves. They then removed the leaves and did another print to give them a positive print of the leaves.
ME visited the Nashville Symphony to watch the dress rehearsal of Fairy Tales and Fate.
UE finished their Islamic art patterns.
MS saw another great performance at TPAC, Nearly Lear. “Imagine the great and tragic story of King Lear as it might be told by the King’s closest companion. In this one-woman tour-de-force, actress Susanna Hamnett plays the Fool – and every other character – using exuberant storytelling that showcases her virtuoso theatrical craft. Nearly Lear is filled with breathtaking hilarity and heartache, honoring the beautiful language of Shakespeare while taking a bit of poetic license.”
AC Art created “bark” paintings inspired by the Amate Bark Paintings used by the Otomi Indians of San Pablito, Mexico.
Digital art finished the video of UE’s TPAC Study Unit. Check it out at http://youtu.be/rw3dcSvkUXg
