Grade 6: Building a Foundation Eighteen sixth grade artists came together to each create an individual mark that provided the foundation for this vibrant and whimsical painting. Nine artists were assigned to paint buildings on the bottom of the horizontal canvas; and the remaining nine students painted a roof top on each building. Together in full collaboration, the class gave the painting a strong base. With the assistance of their art teacher, the base was used as pure inspiration for the abstract town using many elements that the students review in the art studio on a weekly basis. Layer by layer, the piece came to life, much like a building is constructed. Inspired by the groundbreaking of St. Michael's new iMast building, the class found this theme appropriate as they are able to view their painting change with time as well as our new facility in the future. 15"x45" acrylic on canvas.
