SUMMARY:"Surfs Up" - The Village School of North Bennington All Student Art Show
DESCRIPTION:“The Village School of North Bennington All Student Show is one of our favorite exhibitions to host” says Rhonda Ratray\, Artist in Residence at the Left Bank and curator of the Maurice Kahn Gallery\, “The artwork is exciting and creative and it’s wonderful to see the pride the students have in their work. I regularly hear from visitors to the gallery that they are delighted by the exhibition”. \nTeaching Artist\, Caitilin McAdoo and Assistant Maria Scully worked with the students throughout the school year to create a show in which you’ll see paintings\, ceramics\, papier mâché\, chickens\, fish\, things made with recycled materials\, and prints. Says Caitilin\, “We turned paper plates into jellyfish and chickens. We used shredded documents from the office to make our own paper clay and utilized egg cartons and plaster of Paris to make fish that move. We tried new techniques for acrylic paint pours. Sixth graders designed their own independent projects based on what they were interested in. Second Graders wrote a book. Fourth graders learned some techniques for painting formal portraits. We carved our own printing blocks and made prints. Fifth Graders made plywood fish and Third Graders used the scraps to make their own sculptures. Pre-k students learned that elephants sometimes turn out to be giraffes and tanks can feature laser pointers for cats”. \nDon’t miss one of our favorite shows of the year.
