Class Projects at Veritas

Every class this year has completed a group project. All of these beautiful works of art will be auctioned off in a silent auction during the last week of school. All proceeds from the silent auction will go toward improving the audio/visual equip

in the art room. Here are just a few samples...

JIM DINE INSPIRED HEARTS

Last month, the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade classes painted wonderful Jim Dine Inspired Hearts. One class was spent learning about POP ART: The art of common things, when and where it started, and looking at images of hearts made famous by American Pop Artist, Jim Dine. The next class, students were allowed to paint their own "Pop Art Heart." Some chose to do their own creation and others painted a copy of Jim Dine's creation.

They all did a great job!

ART AROUND THE WORLD

3rd and 4th Graders drawing the Maasai People of Africa.

HANG IT UP

More inspiration for displaying your child's art work.

ART AROUND THE WORLD

In preparation for our "Missions Fair" during the month of March we have been working on the art associated with a country or continent that each class has chosen to focus on for the Fair. During this exciting week we will have Missionaries from different parts of the world share their experiences with our students.

We have enjoyed this unit of study and look forward to hosting these special people as they inspire us to share the love of Christ. Here are the 1st graders working on "South African Sunsets and Mud Huts".

EN PLEIN AIR

One of our 8th grade students working on his En Plein Air, French for "in open air." This term is something we have talked about all year. It inspired the Impressionists Art movement during the end of the 19th Century.

1st GRADERS FIRST ART PROJECT

This is one of the very first art projects from the 2010-2011 school year. This art project was inspired by a banner I did which is now hanging over my desk in the art room.

Day 1, they painted paper. Day 2, they added swirly details with oil pastels. The results were beautiful!
