FALL: Picasso, from Realism to Abstraction ("So you think he didn't know how to draw/paint?!").
The works chosen will differ markedly from those shown in 2003. This will be an engaging, interactive unit, involving the children's bodies in (modest) motion standing next to their desks.
Project will be to “make a collage,” with Picasso -- and Linda -- as the "guides."
Training Sessions will be held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings on Oct.13, 14 & 15.
SPRING: New York City Architecture The buildings we will study are:
- The Metropolitan Museum of Art -- classical tradition, solid and strong like a bank building, lots of symmetry; many students have been there or are likely to visit there soon
- The Chrysler Building -- "art deco" style, skyscraper structure, with fascinating decorative details, including automobile parts!
- The new Yankee Stadium - how the arch enables buildings to stand high and wide; plus references to popular sport and accommodating large numbers of people, as well as to gladiatorial contests in the Roman Coliseum for comparison.)
Project will be to “design your own building” on paper.
Training Sesisons will be held on Tuesday, Wednesday and thuirsday mornngs on March 9, 10 & 11.
We hope your school will join us next year and that you will pass this information on to any docents who might not receive this email and to new parents who would like to become involved in the program!

Your Critiques Incorporated into our 2009-2010 Plans
Greetings, docents and liaisons!
We have incorporated your comments and suggestions
into our plans for next year!
WE WILL REVISE THE EMPHASIS AND TIMING AT OUR TRAINING SESSIONS TO CONSIST PRIMARILY OF CLASSROOM STRATEGIES FOR PRESENTING THE ART AND THE ART PROJECTS.
We will, of course continue to provide background material and information on museums and books about each semester's artist.
WE WILL DISTRIBUTE VISUAL MATERIALS THAT WILL NOW BE PROFESSIONALLY PRODUCED(framed posters or CD's of power point presentations, as per your school's choice). The quality will match that of the Calder posters from last fall.
