We’re in the Weekly Dig! April 23, 2010
The Morse School Art Show has an advertisement for the opening reception in this week’s Weekly Dig. Here’s what they wrote about the show:
The fine folks at Gallery 263 have an adorable tradition of taking a breather from post-pre-post-minimalist sculpture to display some local color from the Morse School. And by school, we don’t mean DuChamp and communes, we mean K-8. Teensy tiny masters get top-billing amidst finger food and claret as the turtle-necked set thoughtfully yanks at grayed goatees and considers the raw energy of “Self-portrait, married to Justin Bieber.” [263 Pearl St., Cambridge. 781.393.0000. 5:30pm/free. gallery263.com

Springtime Mural
The Special Start preschoolers came to the studio today to make a very special group mural, on canvas. Last week, they each took a photograph of the dogwood tree outside their classroom. These photos were glued on first. Then, the sponge painted stencils of springtime flowers they have been noticing on walks- crocuses, grape hyacinths, daffodils, and forsythia. Finally, tissue paper was glued on for stems and leaves. This mural will be at the Morse School Art Show at Gallery 263 in a couple weeks. Now we only need to come up with a permanent home for such a beautiful work of art?
Figures in Action
1st and 2nd graders have been learning how to draw people in action. They’ve been posing from paintings, posing from stick people, and modeling for each other! Their goal has been to eliminate stick people from their drawings forever. In the 2nd grader’s drawings below, they had to draw themselves doing an action, using all of their limbs. 1st grade drawings will be at Gallery 263 during the Morse School Art Show.
