SDFAS 7th grade students worked in teams to recreate Henri Matisse’s, La Musique, in fabric. The image of the original painting was projected onto paper— then traced and segmented, to form a working pattern from which the students could work. Together, but in small groups, they cut, fused and assembled each section. On the reverse side, their names have been embroidered on a Matisse inspired leaf. (dry clean only). Fabric 45” x 54” Textile art
5th Grade – Painting Georges Lemmen’s, Plage a Heist. This re-interpreted masterpiece of Belgium Post- Impressionist artist Georges Lemmen, was painted in Pointillism -(a style of painting, in which small and distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image). The young artists were given individual sections of the painting to recreate, they were encouraged to… “‘Paint what You See’, not what you think!” When all segments were completed, the 5th graders worked together to unite the sections and allow the painting to flow into a single composition. Students were very amazed and proud by what their collaborative effort produced! This remarkable painting truly embodies the spirit of community art. Tempera on Paper on Wood 48” x 36”
Tiled Mirror, Classroom B, Warm Colors 3rd Graders enjoyed a little science with their art when they created these fantastic tiles – using warm colored Sharpies the students created abstract designs on white subway tiles and then with careful precision used small amounts of rubbing alcohol to diffuse the colors. The result is this stunning Tie -Dye Stylin’ Mirror! However, viewer beware, you may forget to look in the mirror whenever you pass this wonderful and colorful compilation of children’s creative spirit! 24” x 36” Tile and Glass on Wood Panel.Special Thanks Courtney Murphy
