This week we finished up our third and final Art Day with our Guest Artist, Dorian Sylvain. I cannot say enough about how much the students learned from her! She taught them about her job as a scenic designer and brought in examples of her work for them to look at. While working on the backdrops, she chatted with the students about proper techniques for holding a brush, applying paint, and even blending and shading colors!

Elementary on the backdrop for their opera “Michael Jordan’s Shoes”)
Each class was able to work on their backdrop for three
weeks: first designing it, painting it, and then putting on the finishing
touches.

Students were able to explore their creativity in a different
way and were allowed to take ownership in creating the scenery for their
shows. Even students who are not
normally as involved were painting and having fun!
