The Images below are from the ArtQuest@OMA for the Year 2013
From Lessons of the Ages…
We learn from the
efforts recorded in stone that from the earliest times Mankind has made
beautiful works of art from materials which are simple in nature and from the remnants
of their civilization. The creation of beautiful things in their everyday lives is apparent in the cave drawings in Chauvet France .
The creating of art
forms with simple materials is a time honored tradition and we see the results
of the Students from Nichols Elementary using just pipe stem cleaners,
Styrofoam, foil, and glass beads.
We learn with them to take
pleasure in the joys of “Finding Shadows”, and using these very uncomplicated
tools…to create works of Art.
