WEEK of MAY 26, 2003 |

The All-school Art Show During the week of May 16-21, the Lower Gym was transformed into a spectacular gallery that showcased the work of BFS students (toddlers through seniors) for the annual All-school Art Show. This year, the bleachers were packed with art aficionados. No wait, those weren’t art fans; they were the “Big People” paintings created by first graders and installed just above the bleachers. The 2003 The All-school Art Show offered a true celebration of the visual arts in all media and genres. There were works created in watercolor, acrylic, oil, tempera, wood, clay, terra-cotta, paper, seeds and beans, found objects, Plexiglas, plaster, papier mache, photography, and wire. There were studies of Cubism, the still life and self portraits by middle schoolers and upper schoolers. There were assemblages inspired by artist Joseph Cornell and Egyptian art carvings on plaster tablets. There were pet painting created by second graders, and collaborative collages created by upper schoolers. Gorgeous ceramics grew out of our remarkable ceramics program. (The ceramics program was featured on WNYE this year.)
There was “stained glass”, and there were works inspired by artists including Roy Lichtenstein, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Matisse. Playful, creative projects were transformed from raw materials by our preschoolers. (Preschooler art is also showcased each year in the Brooklyn Heights Branch Public Library.) And functional and whimsical pieces were created in woodshop. If you missed the celebration, here’s a “digital art show” to give you a flavor of the real thing.
