We are having an art show!  Come join our middle school artists for a reception celebrating their work this semester.  The reception will be on May 22 from 5-6PM at the Lincoln Park branch of the Chicago Public Library at 1150 W. Fullerton.  If you are unable to attend the reception, stop by the library at any point in May, during their hours of operation.  I am very proud of their work.  They began by writing a proposal for their work, and created some sketches.  They worked on canvases with acrylic paint, practicing color theory, value, texture, form, brush technique, layering and other important skills.  Each painting is based on both the work of a famous artist who focused on the theme of dreams, and on the students' own ideas about what dreams mean.  They explain their work in artists' statements that will be on display with the work, and you can read these statements on our Artsonia account.  Follow the link at the top of the page for "Student Gallery".
