Art for Smart Kids

With the creation of Seabury's new Maker Space and the addition of an art specialist, we are excited to design, create, engineer and invent! 

How to get started? Well, this student has it all figured out.


And here are some of our first projects made from an interesting assortment of materials.

In art class, we looked at the art of Piet Mondrian, a famous abstract painter known for his paintings of colored squares, rectangles and thick black lines. 

Ms Head led us in a discussion about horizontal, vertical, diagonal and curved lines and we then created our own 3D line-art creations.  

The following week Ms Head introduced us to the folk art of Heather Galler.

We took on the challenge to fill our entire space up with color and design in a similar way. We worked hard and long for several days and the effort paid off! A big thank you to one of the fifth grade Innovators who came to our class and gave us advice, encouragement and assistance. We loved being mentored!
