Zoes Kitchen Community Art Exhibit

Twenty-four of our talented Barnwell students participated in a special art display this fall at Zoes Kitchen restaurant on Haynes Bridge Road. Here are some photos of students who attended our opening reception as well as students with their canvas paintings they created.

Pop Art Portraits

Fourth graders learned about British pop artist Andy Warhol and his paintings and screenprints of popular everyday objects as well as his portraits of celebrities. Students then created their own pop art inspired styrofoam prints while exploring color theory, repetition, and proportion in their art.

                                        

 

                                        

Modigliani Inspired Portraits

Third grade students learned about Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani and his stylized portraits. Students shared their opinions about the emotions the artist showed with his famous tilted heads, elongated necks and hollow eyes of his subjects. Students then created either a portrait of another person or a self-portrait using some of the same stylized elements of Modigliani's work.
