Abintra Art - Week 14 (2012 - 2013 School Year)
ECA is practicing their cutting work to help them develop the control and coordination necessary for later cutting activities.
ECB explored creating art with a marble that went along with their study of the primary colors. The children squeezed drops of primary colored paint in the center of the paper and then moved the container to roll the marble through the paint, creating the design.
ECC created a mosaic of dots to create intricate detailed patterns. This work also helps strengthen the hand muscles for writing and performing practical life activities.
LE learned about the work of the master artist, Claude Monet. They created their own watercolor inspired by Monet’s love for painting water forms.
LE also received the final piece of the collaborative fall art they did with Kolidiko.
ME did a Mandala Project to honor someone or some place important in their lives. It was a way of giving thanks by designing with the most universal shape of all, a circle. Students chose particular symbols and colors to make a fitting dedication, and learned several ways of working with radial symmetry in the process.
UE continues their study of religious art by focusing on Byzantine art. This week they designed and created mosaics inspired by the Byzantine mosaics. They enjoyed smashing pieces of tile to add to their artwork!
UE also visited the Nashville Symphony to observe a rehearsal of All That Classical Jazz by George Gershwin.
Human faces have always fascinated artists. Beginning with just an oval, Middle School artists recently utilized a variety of materials and sources to create collage portraits. We looked at portraits and self-portraits made by other artists and discussed the importance of correctly perceiving the proportional relationships of eyes, lips, noses, and ears.
