Recently our school hosted an event promoting literacy. The theme was "Take Me Out to the Ball Game"- all about baseball. We had baseball books, snacks, games, music- even some real baseball players came to visit! Our art project for the night was inspired by the circular shape of a baseball- we did "Circle Painting"! The concept of Circle Painting was developed as a way to bring harmony and unity to communities through collaborative art-making. (Visit circlepainting.org for more information and to see how Circle Painting has transformed communities all over the world!) The main goal behind our Circle Painting project was for painters to create any design they wished using ONLY circles. Also, the painting is meant to happen in a very respectful and considerate way- you can add to a circle someone has already made, but your additions shouldn't cover up or overtake the original circle. I loved seeing our school community make art together. Students, parents, siblings, grandparents, and even the teachers had a part in making these artworks happen! And here are some of the finished canvases. They are gorgeous!
