Summit Student Art at Springfield Art Museum: You're invited to the Opening Reception this Friday, March 3rd
Once again, The Summit Prep will have student art work featured in the Springfield Art Museum's All School Art Exhibit. The exhibit runs from
March 4nd through April 23nd.
All families are welcome to attend the Opening Reception this Friday, March 3rd from 5-6:30 p.m. at The Springfield Art Museum to celebrate our students and their art.
The following pieces are on display in the exhibit:
Kindergarten: Alphabet Puzzle
The students painted letters of the alphabet and drew pictures of words that begin with those letters. When it was all put together it made a giant jigsaw puzzle. They embellished each letter with glitter glue and framed it with colored sticks with patterns on them.
1st Grade: Pacific NW Totem Pole
The students created a 3-D totem pole. They worked with various materials to create animals for each section. Using specific stylized characteristics that represented those used by the Pacific Northwest Coast American Indians.
2nd Grade: Imaginary Creatures
Students worked collaboratively to create an imaginary landscape. Each student used collage techniques to design their own unique creature for this imaginary land.
3rd Grade: Prehistoric Life
Students used paper mache to create 3-dimensional dinosaurs. They worked collaboratively on a display for their prehistoric creatures.
4th Grade: Animal Rock Stars
The students used clay to sculpt animals playing musical instruments. They worked together to create a stage, banner, lights and speakers for a collaborative display of their rock band.
5th grade: Seahorse
Students created a mosaic using glass, metal and tissue paper. Students drew sea creatures to frame the design.
Cooper Johnson, Middle School: Optical Progression
This pencil drawing uses lines and shapes to create patterns. The overall composition uses the principals of design to create rhythm and balance.
Verity Gerhold, Middle School: Op Art
This is a 3-dimensional project. She used straight lines of colored string to create a parabolic curved design.
