The Art Club Kids had a wonderful filed trip to the House of Blues - Houston. The HOB has one of the largest collections of folk art in the country and we got to see it first hand. In preparing for the trip we studied artists in the HOB collection along with other well known folk artists such as Clementine Hunter, Rev. Howard Finster, and Sister Gertrude Morgan. The students created their own folk art piece by painting on glass showing background, middle ground, and foreground in their work.
While at the House of Blues the students created a work of art in the style of Mr. Imagination - a folk artist collected by the HOB. Glitter,beans, beads, and other objects were used to create a symbolic artwork. Everyone learned so much and had a great time! The students painted a collaborative project to present to the HOB education director, Ms. Nazanine for her collection.
