The work of local artist, Leslie Perlis, was the inspiration for OTA’s Kindergarten art auction project. The students enjoyed designing their own individual fused glass tiles while learning the unique properties of glass. This whimsical piece will add a spark of fun to your home! Measuring 31.5”x 21”x 14″
Learning to work together and communicate was the theme for this amazing project. After reading, When Pigasso met Mootise by Niana Laden, OTA’s 2nd grade divided into pairs and began creating the Matisse “paint with scissors” side, each pair taking turns playing the wheel chair bound Matisse and his assistant- one directing the other following his/her directions! Then they each created a Picasso styled face and discovered how difficult it can be to change one’s perception and see from another point of view. This beautiful collaborative piece will enliven your home or office! (4’x6’)
Legend says that if you fold 1,000 origami cranes, you will be granted a wish. The Spectacular 3rd grade (S3G) have folded 1,030 Butterflies to get their wish, that OTA students will continue to learn,create, and share their knowledge and their talents with their families and friends. This colorful wall fan is a testament to the hard work and dedication of these amazing kids! “Whoever obtains this magical fan will have their deepest wish come true. The magical powers of the butterflies will flutter your home with enchanted blessings!” Measuring 40”X 68″
Chess anyone? Who can resist a game of strategy and creativity on this amazing glasstile mosaic table? This weather resistant table is perfect for the patio, where heated battles of the mind can ensue, all while enjoying the beautiful San Diego weather. Measures 29” x 24” x 28″
Leonardo da Vinci’s painting, Mona Lisa, is acclaimed as “the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, and the most parodied work of art in the world.” So who could resist her beguiling smile? Not OTA’s 5th graders! As part of the Core Knowledge TM curriculum, the students studied the Mona Lisa in detail and were then able to re-create this masterpiece in their own medium of glasstile. This exquisite mosaic table will add grace and beauty to any space! Measuring 6’ in diameter.
Working with stained glass, OTA’s 7th Grade class adapted Piet Mondrian’s non- representational style (white ground, with a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and the three primary colors) to create this stunning window. Each student designed and constructed their own Mondrian inspired pane. Their efforts were combined into this light and mind-bending collaborative piece entitled Composition No.7. Measures 35″x29″
The bold geometric shapes and lavish ornamentation that characterize the Art Deco style gleam in these glasstile mosaic mirrors created by OTA’s first graduating class! These elegant mirrors will add style and pizzazz to your wall! Both measure 28″x24″
