 A very enthusiastic and talented group of young artists grades 6-12 has helped Mrs. Rosa, our new art teacher, to get the art program at Chapel Field off to a great start in the fall of 2008.

 The first quarter was dedicated to the basics of drawing, which is the foundation for all visual art.In the second quarter we were able to order a variety of art supplies which were put to good use immediately. We created paintings to the Christmas song “O Holy Night”, which were exhibited at the annual Christmas concert on December 18. Further we studied color theory and the practical use of color media. Especially the correct mixing of colors in exercises such as the color wheel and the complimentary bar. In addition we discussed two famous artists, Peter Paul Rubens, Rembrandt von Rijn and a famous German color theorist Johannes Itten and how these artists approach their work

The focus of the third quarter will remain on the subject of painting for some weeks in order to produce three projects. 1. A Hue Mosaic, 2. The replica of a famous painting (on canvas), 3. A narrative self portrait. Simultaneously we will look at the work and life of famous painters such as Marc Chagall, Gustav Klimt, Michelangelo Buonarrotti and Pablo Picasso.

The rest of the school year we will learn about print making, sculpture and collage. As weather permits we will venture out unto our beautiful school campus to work on pleine air projects.

 IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO SIGN UP! Don’t let your gifted student miss out on this opportunity. Cost per Quarter $108.- ( 1 day a week), $180.- (2 days a week). Please call the office at Chapel Field : 1-(845) 778-1881 for more information or email Mrs. Rosa :mailto:doschiro@yahoo.com
