Ms. Jill and Ms. Sarah guided the kindergarten through fifth-grade students in studying &#8220;Art of the Americas&#8221; this year, including artists such as John James Audubon, Frida Kahlo, and Jonathan Green (among others). Students created self-portraits, landscapes, bark paintings, and bird studies inspired by masters.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-8877 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-show-1-270x82.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"310\" height=\"94\" srcset=\"http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-show-1-270x82.png 270w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-show-1-540x164.png 540w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-show-1-768x234.png 768w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-show-1-200x61.png 200w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-show-1-125x38.png 125w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-show-1-60x18.png 60w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-show-1-85x26.png 85w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-show-1-80x24.png 80w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-show-1.png 776w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Within the Creativity program, Ms. Amy and Ms. Sarah guided the 3K students through fifth-graders in process-based explorations of color, emotion, texture, and line. The Upper Elementary students created a collaborative piece that was printed onto fabric to colorfully welcome visitors to the STEAM show. Finally, Middle School students explored resist techniques, low-relief paper collages, art therapy, realistic pencil drawings, captured motion drawings, tessellations, and perspective.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-8878\" src=\"http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-show-3-270x182.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"259\" height=\"175\" srcset=\"http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-show-3-270x182.png 270w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-show-3-200x135.png 200w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-show-3-125x84.png 125w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-show-3-60x40.png 60w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-show-3-85x57.png 85w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-show-3-80x54.png 80w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-show-3.png 325w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The newer outdoor areas at Five Oaks (such as the courtyard tent, amphitheater, and Discovery Deck behind elementary) allowed for STEAM displays from every age level and featured field guides from nature studies, microscope exploration, book reports, biography projects, &#8220;Imaginary Island&#8221; designs, and invention projects.
