Abintra Art - Week 19 (2012 - 2013 School Year)
ECA started the new year off with a collaboration project. The students painted their hands and then spent a significant amount of time carefully making handprints to form this large piece art.
ECB & ECC also started the new year off with a collaboration . They first discussed the different biomes - ocean, jungle, and forest. They talked about which animals live there and which plants grow there. Then they split up into three groups and began by drawing the waves for the ocean, and the ground, sky and trees for the forest and the jungle. They added more plants, animals, insects, and other things they would find in that habitat. They were very creative and elaborate with their drawings!
During the 3rd quarter, LE will be exploring different mediums in painting. They started by exploring watercolor through creating winter trees. This project was a great review of the elements of design. They first drew a tree using short and long lines to break up the space. Then they drew shapes that were formed in the negative space by the trees. They were asked to choose two colors to paint the shapes. With these colors they explored how watercolors mix. They painted the tree black so the focus is on the shapes and the colors they created in the negative space.
ME visited the Schermerhorn Symphony Center for the dress rehearsal of Mozart & Strauss. This dynamic concert features two masterpieces by the legendary Richard Strauss! A wild rush of violins opens the passionate Don Juan, a piece brimming with feverish emotion and romance. Mozart’s Symphony No. 39 is one of the composer’s last works and a showcase for the incredible musicianship of the GRAMMY®-winning Nashville Symphony. The evening closes on a playful note with Strauss’ musical tale of The Merry Prankster.
UE started the 3rd quarter with a study of Early Italian Renaissance art. They learned about Filippo Brunelelschi and his discovery of linear perspective. The students created a drawing using a one-point perspective.

Abintra graduate Christy Berryessa led a workshop on MacBeth with Middle School students. Christy excelled in theater in high school and college and is now working in the local film and theater industry. MS was also able to see the Nashville Shakespeare Company’s performance of MacBeth featuring the Nashville Ballet. They were the only group in the audience which made this even more special.
