Art Exhibition Found Faces Slideshow

First, thank you to all of your who attended our first ever exhibition night.

"Who Am I? Exploring Identity Through Art" was a complete success! Mrs. Wynne-Davis' class put together a stunning art installation called the Tree of Life. The students of Dr. Olabuenaga's curated their own gallery with David Hockney-inspired art, created by them.

Another successful piece of the exhibition was the student-led art lessons. The 5th grade students designed and planned two separate lessons: Found Faces and Hockney Art. Students, parents, and guests came and made art akin to the work of the very artists in the show.

Below is the slideshow of the Found Faces made at the exhibition. Check it out to see if your art is there!

Hockney-Inspired Practice Art

We have begun our work for our gallery exhibition entitled, "Who Am I? Exploring Identity Through Art".

Room 28 is using David Hockney for inspiration. Take a look at his work, then view our gallery slideshow to see us practice & prepare for our own Hockney-inspired gallery pieces!

Found Faces Art

This is the first piece we created for our art project, "Who Am I? Exploring Identity Through Art". We are calling this "Found Faces". To create this art, we arranged common, everyday objects into faces, practicing our Habit of Mind, flexibility, and training our artist's eye.

Below is a slideshow of our "faces". Enjoy using your artist's eye!

Our MOCA Trip

Families and Guests,

Some of you may have heard that Room 28 and Room 22 will be starting a new project-based learning piece. The working title is "What is Art?". During the project, students will get to create their own collection of art. Then, they will take on the role of museum curator and design their own exhibition to be shared with you and our local community at the end of May.

Here are some photos from the trip to MOCA Grand that will help us begin to think about those two ideas. As you can tell... we had a lot of fun!

If you have additional photos that you wish to add to the slideshow, email them to me and I will make sure that they are included.
