Spring Museum Trips Part I - 6th grade @ the Met

The 6th Grade spent a day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in conjunction with their study in classes of Greek & Roman history and culture.  Sketchbooks in hand, they were first led through the collection with their teachers as guides, exploring Archaic through Baroque periods before checking out Roman works...

Good focus on this Classical greek vase!

 

Nice work ladies!  Keep it up!

A great day was had by all, what a great way to bring our studies to life!

5th Grade Inspired by POP artists old & new...

For a mini-unit led by visual arts & art history chair, Gregg Emery, students of the 5th grade class were led through lessons in color theory and art history...culminating in a final painting project inspired by the works of both Andy Warhol & Josh Williams 02'...

The Dwight-Englewood Bulldog was the final image when all of the pieces came together...Congrats Class of 2019!

Students looked at Andy Warhol to see the effects different color might have on the same picture...

 

Students also looked at the work of Josh Williams 02' for inspiration.

We are so very proud of Josh Williams 02' and his recent show in Paris, thanks for helping inspire a new generation of young artists!
