Art Appreciation

There was a flurry of art appreciation and creation at the Locust Lane Chapel on Thursday evening, 17 September. Three groups of SNAP friends rotated between tables to learn a little bit about Mary Cassatt, Pablo Picasso, and Emily Carr. After learning about the artists, we had a chance to create pieces of art inspired by their work.

 Sister Woodard explains how the activity will unfold

 Sister Chambers explains a little bit about Pablo Picasso

 Cassatt painted mothers and children

 Sister Leishman taught us about Emily Carr, a Canadian artist, who used totems as subject matter

 We used torn paper and glue to create

 Figures for our own totem pole were created with paper

 Making something colorful and fun 

 Nothing to it

 We were able to draw pieces inspired by Cassatt's ideas

 The art board was full

And the totem pole is complete

Thanks to Sister Woodard and everyone who made this such a fun activity. See you again soon at SNAP.
