Art Awareness
 2007-08

The PTA's art awareness program provides  art enrichment at Tulip Grove.  The lessons are designed and taught entirely by volunteers.

Each lesson, based on a poster of a famous piece of art, includes information about the artist, the style or period represented, and specific art concepts or techniques used by the artist.  The students then do an art project based on the famous piece. 

The committee is losing several of its instructors at the end of this year as their children move on to other schools.  New instructors must be found, if we are to be able to provide the lessons to all of Tulip Grove's students.  If you are willing to help, contact Kim Allegrezza.

The Book of Kells
 

Using the Book of Kells as an example, students will learn how the process was done in medieval times -- scraping hide to make parchment, and grinding gems and minerals to create colors.  Each child will get a sheet of parchment, create an elaborate first initial and write their name, in the style of The Book of Kells, using markers and a gold ink pen for the illumination and decoration.

 

 

Munch

The Scream

Using The Scream by Edvard Munch and the book, The Great Blueness and Other Predicaments by Arnold Lobel, students will realize how the emotions of a color and the strokes of a line will give a picture "feeling".   Then students will use oil pastels/craypas to create an emotional picture.
