West Concord
Circle Room: the children splattered paint on to a platter using a variety of tools, including forks and paintbrushes (both ends!). The platter was then fired in a kiln so it will last for years to come!
Crescent Room: a white ceramic tray decorated with the children’s colorful handprints.
Heart Room: a queen-sized quilt decorated by the children with a Jackson Pollock-inspired abstract design made using a variety of painting styles.
Triangle Room: A trio of canvas paintings, each featuring a flower in shades of either blue, green or yellow. Each of the flower petals has been painted by a Triangle Room child using one of a variety of painting techniques, including watercolor, salt painting, marble painting, and painting with toys, among others.
Diamond Room: a canvas featuring white shapes from the CCC logo surrounded by colorful acrylic paint chosen and applied by the children. The children also added their colorful fingerprints to the back of the canvas.
Star Room: a white 12″ x 20″ serving tray featuring the children’s colorful handprints surrounding this year’s unofficial classroom motto, “All Are Welcome.”
Hexagon Room: a rainbow hexagon made from loose parts displayed on a 24″ x 18″ canvas. The children helped to both select the loose parts and create the art.
