Middle School Art!
Both the quality and volume of art currently on display in the Middle School are truly impressive. The following eleven (yes, eleven!) projects presently adorn the walls and shelves of the building: ceramic coil pots, Wayne Thiebaud-inspired acrylic on canvas paintings, self-portraits in pencil, observational hand drawings, warm and cool portraits with tessalations (using acrylic paint), relief sculptures, ceramic teapots, Aztec sun prints, Islamic-inspired clay slab boxes, painted foam guitars, and a ceramic "dinner party" that includes a cheeseburger and fries, hot dogs, blueberry pancakes, spaghetti and meatballs, pizza, shish kabobs, bacon and eggs, and fruit. Kudos to Mrs. Kamp and her students for their significant accomplishments thus far this school year! Why am I not including any pictures with this post? I want you to come see these outstanding projects up close and in person! If you are interested in perusing this diverse array of artwork, e-mail me directly at amartire@calvertschoolmd.org and I will give you a personal tour. If we time the tour correctly, we can also visit an art class in progress and see students creating their next set of masterpieces.
