Come See the Art Show!

The 7-8th Graders are having an art show!  It is at the Lincoln Park Branch of the Chicago Public Library, and will be on display through the end of May.  The students worked hard all semester, so their notes and sketches are on display with their artwork.  Stop by to read about what dreams mean to them.  I am impressed with their willingness to share personal views.  Henri Matisse once said, "It takes courage to create."  I agree, and think it's great that the students have been so open with their thoughts.  They worked together, in some cases teaching each other, and learned about value, color theory, texture, brush techniques, art history and symbolism.  Stop by the reception on May 22nd, from 5-6pm, to meet and talk to the artists!  The kindergarten and first grade students will have a display in the entrance to the library.  The middle school work is located in the conference room near the back of the first floor.
