This past Tuesday, we had the privilege of attending Declan's art crawl and play. What a spectacular show it was! Here are some of the highlights....
Declan is a declared lover of Jackson Pollack. He loves abstract art and the way that Pollack used all kind of items to create his art. He is soooo excited that on our trip up north this summer, he might get to see an actual Pollack! Above his the class Pollack interpretation. Declan did the middle right bottom just in case you were wondering.
Mrs. Shields, his teacher. We love her and the best part of their performances is that she always does a welcome "speech" and always gets choked up. She loves the kids so much and it shows!
Mystery island...in the method used by Seurat.
Siran...a Picasso interpretation
Worried Scuba Diver...Picasso in his blue period
Loved the horses...they painted over actual pictures. Declan doesn't like it. He is a lover of abstract painting. He doesn't like doing these types of paintings because then people won't understand or realize that he really only wants to do abstract art (yep, that is what he said).
Spider Web Hurricane...Jackson Pollack
Their play was based on the book When Pigasso Met Mootise-very funny! Declan had great expression in reading his lines!

One of the other kids pieces of art work...titled Declan Licking Ice Cream.

Way to go, Declan! And what a great school! Can you believe we don't HAVE art in our public school here, other than the pretty informal stuff the teachers can squeeze in if there's time?
