Art Room Update... Via Instagram!

Here are some of my most recent Instagram posts about art class!  Follow ArtClass_AllDay to stay up-to-date on the latest happenings in the Art Room!

We are wrapping up our clay Artist Residence with Leslie Montalto.  The culminating event will be an Ice Cream Social to raise money and awareness for hunger in Vermont. This takes place next Thursday, May 19.  Students will get to enjoy their ice cream in their slab bowls that they made with Leslie!

A group of fifth and sixth grade students wanted to raise money for the Malala Fund after reading Malala's story. They are going to sell scarves at the Bridge Street Art Fair on Saturday, May 21.  They experimented with decorating the fabric with Sharpie markers and rubbing alcohol.




And, ahh... Zentangles!  Who doesn't need a brief moment of peace at this crazy time of year?!

Empty Bowls Clay Project

Waitsfield students are in the midst of a fabulous Artist Residency with local potter Leslie Montalto.  All students, pre-K to grade 6 have worked with Leslie to make three types of bowls.  The first bowl is a simple pinch pot. The second is a slab bowl with printed texture. The third (and most students' favorite) is a bowl on the wheel. 

In addition to working with Leslie in the art classroom, students also spent a day making site visits to other potters' studios or working on specific clay projects.  The various activities included:
  • Building a "pit fire" kiln at Leslie's house
  • Learning about the Raku process with "The Naked Potter" Luke Iannuzzi
  • Visit to Noel Bailey's pottery studio
  • Working on pottery wheels at Montpelier Mud Studio
  • Building clay bells with Katie Babic
  • Hand-building pocket planters with potter Bobbie Platt (and me!)
