Raina's Art Show

Raina's class has been studying famous artists with the goal of creating inspired artwork. She studied Van Gogh, and then drew her own still life of flowers and a self-portrait; she learned of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and then got under a table to paint upside down; Monet for watercolors, Pollock for splatter painting, Seurat for pointillism, Picasso for cubism. She made a sculpture of a tree and painted it too. My favorite piece, though, was the portaiture. She partnered with her friend Kaden and painted his portrait, and he painted her. The portrait is very kid oriented (purple hair, bright red smile, etc.) but she had a great time with it.

Raina was tremendously proud of all nine pieces, and she yanked us from place to place to show them all. When the artwork comes off the gallery, we'll take some better pictures for posting.
