Friday was a complete blast!! All 8 girls, yes girls, including Caitlin who is 4, had a great time! My 7 year old son Sean was there but not has a student he was my helper! He kept our puppy Buddy upstairs and happy.
Starting off the afternoon, each girl painted a moon using warm colors. While the moons dried in the blazing sun, everyone continued on to the night sky filling their paper with moving cool color lines of metallic and regular tempera paint. During snack we listened to Starry Night at Destination Modern Art, a site from the MOMA: http://www.moma.org/interactives/destination/destination.html .
We discussed the calmness of the lines of the town in the Middle ground and the motion of the lines of the sky in the background. Using construction paper, we created parts of our own town. Finally everything was glued together just in time to go home!! Thank you to everyone, I really enjoyed having your children as art students this week!
Sorry I missed taking pictures of G and F as they left!
Here is my Flier for some information:
