A collaborative art experience. Ani Hoover inspires the Center for Learning. When we returned to the school we started our own circle painting. Each class chose a season to base the colors in their painting. The students then filled the 9 foot long paper witih bright circular stamps of color. They also used stencils and liquid tempera paint in spray bottles to make more circles. The paint dripped down the paper just like in Ani Hoover's work. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A collaborative art experience. Southern Tier's Community Labyrinth Project. 1 General Introductory Info. The parking lot labyrinth experience at Mall Boulevard helped us come up with an answer to the question, "what is a labyrinth? A labyrinth is, simply, a path that invites us into a created space, leads us to the center, and then back out again. Labyrinths of all shapes and sizes have been created by many different cultures for many centuries, for the purposes of meditation, exercise and enjoyment.

A collaborative art experience. Pottery at the Co-Op. Jody and Sarah trying out the wheel. At the Co-Op art facilitator Jody has been having ceramics classes once a week. This past week she pulled out the big guns, the pottery wheel! Judging from all the pictures the brave guys that tried it out were delighted as well as a little grossed out from the texture of the wet clay. There's nothing like good old messy fun in the art room! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
