Sometimes the art lessons with AFTERSCHOOL STUDIO are inspired by our read alouds. This week, we took a close look at Goodnight Moon, a classic picture book by Margaret Wise Brown. Then we made our own pop-up cozy corner, which was also inspired by the artwork and colorful carpet that's a part of our play area at 737.
Cheers for chairs at SKETCH EXPRESS tonight! 🪑
Shiny and sparkly over here while ART INTEGRATION illuminates their historiated letters with gold leaf. They also learned the role of the ox and rabbits in the process and that it takes three years as apprentice pounder to be good enough to make the sheets as thin as 1 millionth of an inch!
