Our new artist-in-residence, Mario M. Muller, a working artist and parent (Wolfgang – grade 1, room 38) started the school year by introducing himself to students in grades 1-6, giving them the unique opportunity of getting to know a real artist and his work. He will be working closely with Mrs. Navah, our elementary school art specialist, as they design classes based on various concepts in art. Several times throughout the year, Mario will speak to students in art classes and will be introducing them to his work, which will soon be displayed on campus. Mario will also be offering family museum visits and lectures for parents. To follow up Mario’s lessons, Mrs. Navah will develop new and exciting projects for each grade, which further develop the themes as they are introduced. Their first lesson centered on “Selfies” as a modern-day interpretation of portraiture. After being introduced to portaits by many different artists, students experimented with different ways of expressing their own unique identities through both realistic and abstract self-portraits.
