Overall, the art program paints a pretty picture of John S. Park. The picture to your left is an abstract still life by Claudia. As described by Miss. Bruss, a still life is generally, made up of non-moving objects like fruit, flowers, vases or bottles. Students learned about famous still life painters like Paul Cezanne and Henri Fantin-Latour and studied the composition of a still life. After this, students reviewed a unit on abstract art.
Students first draw a picture with crayons.
This crayon then 'resists' the watercolor paint that completes the work.
