Spreading Love!

In honor of Valentine's Day this week but more importantly the great idea of spreading love through art, here is a collection of pieces created by grade 3 inspired by Pop Artist Jim Dine!

Artists MIA!?

Where have all the artists gone?!  It's been two months since we've had a blog update and in that time we've been printing, recycling, building, painting, smudging pastels, drawing, studying artists... and enjoying some holidays! Time to wake our blog back up and share what we've been up to!  Mrs. G spent the holidays with Coach Dax and their family in the UK and had a chance to see so many famous pieces of art! 

  

They visited the Louvre, Musee de Or'say, Dali Exhibitions, contemporary art galleries, impressionist paintings and so much more in London, Paris, and Brussels!

Back in Bombay the annual Kala Ghoda Arts Festival took place celebrating dance, theater, music, and fine art in India.  Where have YOU seen art with your family lately?!

Grade 4 Body Systems

Grade Four is currently studying body systems in their PYP Unit of Inquiry.  Check out these pieces of art inspired by three artists and their various painting techniques. The people in the photos have been dressed to look like the infamous artists Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, and Vincent Van Gogh. Their chests have been painted as if you could see the body systems within them only in the artists' unique style!

Can you identify the art movement they are well known for?
