Greetings!
The past few weeks, our first grade and kindergarten scholars have been working with diligence in finishing their respective projects, and I have been delighted to see how well each grade was able to imitate the detail of the art. This upcoming week, we will be transitioning into new projects that will carry us into the early weeks of 3rd Quarter. In first grade, we will begin working on a very special work of art by German artist Themistokles von Eckenbrecher named Summer on the Lijngen-Fjord. It will introduce the scholars to the concept of color shading and allow them to create subtle texture with wavy lines in the lake beneath the mountains. In kindergarten, we will begin a work by Claude Monet named The Manneporte near Etrétat. This work is significant for its use of texture on the rock art as well as its complex use of color blending. I look forward to continuing to help our scholars develop their artistic talent with these works of art! |
