Collaborative Art at LMESThe background of this month's newsletter comes from a collaborative art piece created by Grade 4 students at LMES with Mrs. Clough, inspired by the work of Alma Woodsey Thomas! Thomas was an African American woman, artist and teacher who lived and worked in Washington, D.C. She is a major American painter of the 20th century. Alma Thomas is best known for the colorful, abstract paintings that she created after her retirement from a 35-year career teaching. She was the first graduate of Howard University's Art department. Thomas's reputation has continued to grow since her death. Her paintings are displayed in famous museums and collections.

Johnson, Alma Woodsey Thomas, Aaron Douglas, and Reggie Laurent with Mrs. Saginario! The piece you see above is inspired by Reggie Laurent, who is from Chicago and has been painting since 1986. He is best known for his vibrant abstract paintings. Everything Reggie touches seems to glow with color, even everyday objects. His artwork isn't limited to just paint on canvas - he also paints everything from wooden bowls to rolling pins.

In doing so, the content of poem offered a platform for discussion in the context of their French class about the diverse world in which we live, and their role in their community and world. Madame Ganti said, "I was very happy to be able to talk to them about embracing all kinds of differences in society. My students are always very appreciative and open to this conversation. I love doing this poem with my students as it's simple, but so deep and powerful, and the students get it." (Photo Source: Mme Ganti) |
