Using alginate and plaster to explore negative space, to see humor in art using body parts and learning an extreme amount of self control, students were challenged to create a hand gesture and hold it for up to 10 min. as the alginate mold was created.
Check out the results of the first part of this project:

Austin James’ art was chosen to be on the Buckley art exhibition invitation! We take pride in Austin’s work as a budding artist, an avid Museum Adventurer (with CCA!) and a great kid.  Notice his use of pattern, color and composition which, combined,  make this eagle “fly!” “Thank you for all that you have taught my children and for all that you have exposed them to!”  -Jennifer James.

Buckley’s Spring Art Exhibition, featuring Austin’s work,  is on April 25th from 4:30-6pm. Austin James spring 2013Austin James spring 2013 close uo

In Art Adventures, children discussed the work of David Hockney and his interest in space, digital reproduction and representations of the real world.
Children used layering and parts to create a whole to make their own non-conventional photomontages which played with different points of perspective and explore representation.
