Michael K.’s artwork “A Winter Landscape” was selected as 1 out of 800 participants for Exhibition at the MOMA for July 8-Aug 8th. "I drew this picture from my head, and did not have any challenges in creating it," said Michael. "I like to draw all the time and my teacher always inspires me to be creative." Michael is 14 years old and has been receiving waiver residential habilitation and MSC services from QSAC for over a year.
A Note from Michael's Teacher: Before students began their landscapes, they identified cool colors and discussed how these colors can invoke feelings of winter. Looking at Impressionist winter landscape paintings by Claude Monet and Alfred Sisley, they noted horizon lines and how each artist used white in his paintings to convey a sense of the season. We wove Blueprintstrand two, Visual Literacy, into our art making, and the visual interpretations helped students to develop descriptive language. Michael showed skill in manipulating the chalk and the paint. He used space well and developed an interesting composition with a strong sense of line.
Congratulations Michael!
