SUMMARY:LAST DAY TO VIEW - In Awe of Nature: Two Artistic Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Stéphanie Elkort and Judith Stein \nLast day to view September 4th\, 2024.  \n“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it\, it’s your world for a moment.  I want to give that world to someone else.”  Georgia O’Keefe \nEnchanted by the beauty and intricacies of flowers and foliage\, Stéphanie and Judith embarked on a joint project of creating photographs and monoprints that were coordinated in some artistic way – shapes\, colors\, rhythms\, or textures.  Their collaboration sparked their creativity and fueled their productivity.  Their hope is that viewers will be intrigued by the fine details\, the subtle and muted color palettes\, and the varied textures embedded in these works.  Their goal is to engage viewers\, bring them   closer to their creative processes\, and share their love and appreciation of nature’s beauty.  \nJudith’s botanical monoprints were created by spreading thin layers of acrylic paint on a gelli-plate and applying a variety of dried leaves\, feathers\, and petals.  Then paper is put on top\, pressed\, and peeled off to create each monoprint.  The prints are all on acid-free Japanese rice\, mulberry and tea bag papers.  \nStéphanie’s digital photographs tend toward hyperrealism and minimalism.  Usually shot with her favorite macro lens\, her giclée prints are rendered as matte images on fine art paper with a subtle texture\, often leading viewers to ask if they are paintings.  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Village Nursery School -  Children's Art Show
DESCRIPTION:Village Nursery School (VNS)\, located in Harvard\, MA\, is a small\, private\, non-profit preschool educating children ages 2-5.  We focus on a child-centered approach and plan our curriculum around literature and children’s books.  Teachers thoughtfully plan their art projects from the inspiration they get from the wonderful books their classrooms focus on. \nVNS has a long standing tradition of displaying the artwork that the students create throughout the year.  This art show has evolved over the years\, first beginning with a famous artist unit in a pre-k classroom.  It soon became a school-wide event with all the classrooms displaying artwork for families to see. Most recently\, it was an outdoor art walk around the VNS property.   \nWe are thrilled to be showcasing the children’s artwork at Fivesparks this year. We hope you enjoy viewing this amazing work created by our 2-5 year old students. \nOpen to the public Tuesday-Thursday\, May 14-16 during Fivesparks Open Hours (10am-4pm).
