ECA has been learning about contrast
and balance with abstract art.
They created black and white abstracts modeled in the manner of Cecil Touchon, an American contemporary artist.
ECB is exploring painting
with the dyes of tissue paper.
They take a piece of colored tissue paper and place it on their
paper. Then they paint over the
tissue paper with just water. The
water releases the dye onto their paper.
The students then take tweezers to remove the tissue paper leaving a
colorful abstract painting of blended dyes.
To continue their study of
Africa, ECC read the book Anansi the
Spider, a tale from the Ashanti.
Influenced by this book and the African culture, they drew a picture of
a spider and wove a web out of African print paper.
LE finished their Spring
inspired art projects.
ME is experimenting with
creating three dimensional environments or sculptures. They started with paper strip
sculptures. What happens when you
experiment with the medium, how can you make it stand by bending, twisting,
folding, curling, and slotting? They talked about scale and about what
size creature would enjoy traveling inside, around and on top of their
sculpture. The students labeled
their pieces after they were complete, but stayed open to possibility
throughout the process.
UE visited and toured the
facilities of Casa Azafrán. They
spent some time in the Global Education dance studio learning African dances.
MS continues their
collaborative art piece influenced by Ellsworth Kelley.
