Long before the Tim Tebow craze was sweeping the country, Wayne Thiebaud (also pronounced "Tee-bow") was making a major impact within the art community. Best known for his colorful painting of cakes, pies, and baked goods, he was presented with the National Medal of Arts by President Clinton in 1994. Why do I mention Waybe Thiebaud in my Calvert blog? No, it is not because I love his prime subject of baked goods! Under the direction of Middle School art teacher Larisa Kamp, our 8th grade art students create Thiebaud-inspired paintings, and they are currently on display in the second floor landing of the Middle School. The paintings are terrific--bright, vivid images that come off the canvas and make the viewer yearn for the bakery. Please see below for some examples. Also, we hope to arrange a display of the paintings later in the semester at The Evergreen on Coldspring Lane. I will share details when they become available
