Art-for-Youth

Today our Art for Youth volunteer came for a visit and we had LOTS of fun!

The children learned a bit about a piece of art titled The Long Story. Mrs. K. engaged the children in a great discussion about what they thought the men in the painting were talking about.

We learned that this artist strategically placed the figures in his painting in a triangle to draw the viewers eyes to that part of the painting. We had fun creating a triangle with our own fingers to see if we could view the trio of men in our little window.

We heard two stories dealing with the use of imagination and shapes. We always LOVE listening to stories! 

Next, we created our own shape masterpiece using shape templates and the effect of overlapping and turning the shapes into whatever our imagination came up with.

Thank you, Mrs. K!
