Fall is here, and we are quickly moving towards Winter as our weekday classes fly by especially fast since it gets so dark much earlier than it had been. at the beginning of the school year! We continue learning about Torah and the stories of Genesis, singing and dancing with Maya and moving around the room, giving each other commands and working with Tammy and Yardena in Hebrew Through Movement. I had mentioned that I have incorporated a Jewish Artist of the Week in my last post, and we have learned about Lee Krasner since then; everyone in class appreciated her bold use of color and shapes! Our sketch books have had prompts that encourage everyone to think outside the box and draw a piece in the style of that specific artist, aside from trying to jot down different facts about their lives from our discussions. This week we are concentrating on Marc Chagall- who many have referred to as the "quintessential Jewish artist of the 20th century". I have a feeling that Chagall's dreamy details and colors that he has utilized in his paintings and glass work will be a focus when we work on glass painting later this semester! It makes me so happy to see everyone excited about new artists and ways that they can expand their focus in their own class work.
Here are a few peeks into our Omanut time together! Enjoy!
Until next time,
Heather
We finished our 7 Days of Creation paintings- so beautiful!
Here is a small sample of some of the designs, and work in progress:
We are now creating scenes from the stories of Genesis to be made into trivets, framed in wood. Think about how lovely the trivet will be in your kitchen or placed in your home!
