Conrad 12/15/08 - 12/19/08: BCLUW Art Department will be displaying
a Teacher’s Discovery Traveling Exhibit featuring the fascinating
paintings and drawings of the master of artistic illusion, M.C. Escher.
The students and staff will enjoy the giant reproductions during the
week of 12/15/08 - 12/19/08. The exhibit celebrates fine art and the
lifelike drawing that you can’t tear your eyes from, including the
famous Drawing Hands in which the two hands seem to draw each other! Students will experience a museum-like setting with displays of famous artists work, M.C. Escher. The large panels measuring 7” x 17’, 4’ x 8’, and 4’ x 4’ will provide a unique experience for all who see the art exhibit. Students will learn about the artist, art history, and cross-curricular connections of Escher’s work. Through a BCLUW Foundation Grant and
PEP funding this exhibit, as well as two other exhibits and resources
are made possible for the students, staff and the community. One
resource is coordinating activity packs that will help guide the art
students through each of the exhibits. Other resources that were funded
by the BCLUW Foundation Grant and PEP are Graphic Posters, Career
Collection Books and Posters. These resources are a valuable addition
to the art department, helping students to stay current on techniques,
careers and artists. The community is invited to enjoy each of the
exhibits while you're walking in the morning or attending an event in
the evening. Mark your calendar to see the other exhibits featuring
artist Henri Rousseau on March 23th – 27th, and Salvador Dali on May
11th - 15th. For additional information you may contact Ms. Frost.
