Night Is: Representing and Capturing Night

12/2/2021

Night, what is it and how do we know when it is were two of several questions asked and explored in small group experiences, prior to Thanksgiving break. We then proposed some home-to-school research to extend and sustain our exploration. The children's research is gradually being received (as seen below). We look forward to receiving even more! Next week we will further our understanding and interpretation of night by discussing this work in small groups.

Creating an Inspirational Color Palette

Every year, we embellish the children's school photos with their work. For our signature pieces this year, we have chosen to focus on color. We will be creating monochromatic inspiration palettes based on each child's favorite color. Mixing paint to represent the favorite color will be the first step in this multi-step process. Following painting the steps will include collecting and collaging a variety of materials of the same color but of different hues, tints, and shades. When all done, the work will be hung and displayed beneath the photo.
