January 24th-January 28th

The eighth grade students just completed their painting mixing/line design project. The results are fantastic. This week, we will begin learning about Marc Chagall. Our next project will be inspired by the famous stained glass windows that were created by Chagall for the Art Institute of Chicago in the 1970's. After an absence of five years, the windows have been restored and re-installed in 2010. I had the pleasure of viewing them in November just after their big reveal. They are still one of my favorite pieces at the Art Institute. Hopefully, our interpretation will be just as inspiring.
