Art Gala 2014

 Dale Chihuly sculpture made out of plastic bottles in honor of Earth Day. 

 The downstairs hallway was transformed into a prehistoric cave art exhibit. Students had drawn animals on brown paper and made torches with lights inside. As viewers walked through the dark cave, they held their torches up to the wall and paintings of horses, bison, mammoths, and deers were illuminated. 

Kindergarten's paper mache mushrooms.

First grade's studies on Rene Magritte, Aboriginal Handprints, Edgar Degas, Gustav Klimt, and flowers.

 All of Elementary learned about the Terracotta army and each student sculpted a warrior out of terracotta clay. 

Fourth and fifth grade's Lichtenstein inspired self-portraits, value drawings, and Frank Stella paper sculptures. 

Third-Fifth: Dali's Melting Clocks

The Persistence of Memory, 1931

My summer school students learned all about Salvador Dali during Art week and had so much fun interpreting his surreal paintings. Out of white model magic, they used the table to bend and warp their clocks into a "melting" shape. They painted the outer rim with gold paint and made their numbers with black model magic. The hour and minute hands were made with black cardstock pinned down with a brass pin that was held in place with a drop of hot glue in the back.
