I can't believe it's been almost a month since the school year ended. A year that ended with two huge firsts for the art program -- the school wide art show AND the school wide tie-dye. Thank you to everyone who made it out to the show! We had a great time viewing, making, and talking about art as well as listening to some fantastic musical performances. The day after the show, another teacher commented that she could feel the community as she walked around the event. What a great recap of the evening!

Can you believe it is already May?! Here are your last set of clues for the school year! -This month’s mystery artist consists of a cultural group, not just one artist. -This culture is one of the oldest living cultures in the world. -Ms. Koontz’s brother is currently living in the same country as this cultural group. -The artwork from this group is often made of small dots of paint. -The artists use a lot of symbolism in their work and many of the works tell stories. For example, the story of Dreamtime, the time when they believe the Earth was created. -Painting on bark is the oldest form of this art. Contemporary painters from this culture paint on many surfaces with many materials. Congratulations to Katie B. in 5th grade for solving the March Mystery Artist. The artist was Paul Klee. Check out the 5th grade non-objective paintings to see work inspired by Paul Klee.

Congratulations again to Lynn in first grade for solving the December mystery- Andy Goldsworthy. · This artist is an American painter and was born in 1920. · He often paints objects from daily life, such as the ice cream sundaes you see here. · He is connected to the Pop Art movement. · This artist uses bold brushstrokes and colors in his work, as well as strong shadows. Who is this artist? Hint- one grade at WoHills is currently learning about this artist. This British artist was born in 1956. This artist creates land-art, or “earthworks.” The artist will go out into nature, and rearrange the elements into an ephemeral work of art. The artwork is only preserved through the lens of the camera. I have chosen two photos of his ice and snow sculpture for the December mystery artist. I encourage you to find more photos of this artist’s work, or create your own ephemeral sculpture! Who is this artist? The answer is Andy Goldsworthy, congrats to Lynn in 1st grade! Attention all super sleuths! It's time for a new mystery artist! Can you solve the mystery below?The November mystery artist is inspired by the current show at the Ohio State Wexner Center for the Arts. The show is called “Transfigurations” and has multiple works by this month’s mystery artist. The painting pictured is one of the works in the show.
This artist was born in 1881 in Spain. This artist painted in many different styles. Some of his most famous include his rose period, his blue period and his cubist work. I have chosen one of his cubist works here. Can you solve the mystery? The art room now has an Instagram! Follow us @worthingtonhillsart for a glimpse into the wonder and inspiration happening daily!
