Learning about Shapes at the DMA

Last week's class was about shapes and we looked at modern art by Matt Connors.  During the 'studio' time after looking at art in the museum, the kids used things you might find around your house to paint pictures.

Lane used a turkey baster, scouring pad, potato masher and a comb among other things to make his picture.

The last part of the 'assignment' was to press another piece of paper on top of your finished art, like Matt Connors sometimes does, and see what impression it made.

Bananas AND Raspberries


So it appears Brooke likes bananas for a short bit, then when she gets tired of bananas she gives us some raspberries :)!
