A World of Art: Distant Shores for 2009-2010
We’re planning four very interesting lessons for the coming school year for our Volunteer Program:An Heroic Biography: Assyria’s Royal Portraits in Relief will explore ancient Assyrian clay relief sculptures and how to create clay relief tiles.
Then it’s off to sub-Saharan Africa for African Safari: Craft a Mask. Children will learn about this art form used in tribal rituals and ceremonies, then will create their own mask.
Across the Atlantic to just off the shore of Panama in the San Blas Islands, we’ll find Mola! Kuna Women Create a Layered World. Learn how the Kuna women reflect their world in colorful, layered molas.
Let’s Explore Modern Painting: Mondrian, Kandinsky, Frankenthaler, and Stella will explore modern expressionism in European and American painters’ works. Registration forms for volunteers are on our website.
