Artwork Spotlight
Seated Deity (Xantil) Figure
This seated deity was created in Mexico, between 1200-1500 AD in the Tehuacan Valley, in what is now Puebla and Oaxaca. It was used as a censer for burning incense from the copal tree, during rituals. The holes in the mouth and shoulders were to let the smoke from the incense escape.
Last Saturday at the Museum
Henri Matisse
August 28, 2021
Our Last Saturday event for August was all about the artist Henri Matisse.
We started out by reading the book Henri's Scissors to the children. When we finished the book, the children worked on 3 different projects, all based on the artwork of Matisse. We also had 1 group of parents who worked on a teacher-led Matisse collage.
Thank you to everyone who came out and joined us!
A huge thank you to all of our high school students who voluteered and helped set up materials, worked with the students and then stayed to help clean up.
We look forward to seeing everyone at our upcoming events!
Drawing Crash Course
August 28, 2021
In addition to our Last Saturday with Matisse event, we also had a Drawing Crash Course with SBISD art teacher, Lindsay Ripley. Participants learned the ins and outs of drawing, what materials to use and techniques for creating a drawing.
