LMS Student Art Show!

Artwork will be on display until January 26th at OWL (Oliver Wolcott Library) in Litchfield.

"Forces of Life" - Mixed Media

Our newest art show, Forces of Life, features work from our talented Montessori students. The exhibit offers a look into the power of expression of the individual as well as the whole community. As a central focus of Montessori elementary education, the independence of the child is encouraged as well as the ability to work in partnership within a community and to respect the natural world around us.

The exhibit opens with the American modernist painter whose career spanned seven decades, Georgia O’Keefe. She was known as the “Mother of American Modernism.” From the elegance of the painted form, we move into the tactile perfection of pattern and texture. The elementary students are introduced to the ancient art form of weaving. Lastly, we turned our focus to the art of printmaking. We studied the intricate wood block carvings of German printmaker Albrecht Durer and referenced early printmaking techniques developed in China. 

We look forward to your presence at our art show.
