Welcome back everyone!
In kindergarten, we recently had the chance to finish Monet's Manneporte at Etrétat, and last week we began looking at and discussing art from the Middle Ages, in particular the stained glass art and architecture of gothic cathedrals in France. This week we will begin work on a simplified faux-stained glass replica of the rose window at the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The students will be using transparency paper on a background of aluminum wrapped card stock. This will allows the colors drawn on the transparency to shimmer like a stained glass window. In 1st grade, we are continuing detailed colored pencil work on the mountains and lake of Themistokles von Eckenbrecher's Summer on the Ljingen-Fjord. The progress and detail I have seen in the work of the 1st grade classes have been fantastic. I look forward to seeing the continued progress of the students in the weeks to come! |
