Copper Stars Exhibit

Theiss Elementary School 5th grade

Smith Foyer, Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Art
January 16 - February 20, 2016


Reception
January 16th
11:00am to 3:00pm

Museum Family Day w/Synergy artists:
Saturday, January 16, 2016: 11am-3pm


Theiss Elementary School's 5th grade students learned about the history of the Statue of Liberty, and how it was made. In addition, they learned the patination process of copper.  The students used 100% copper to create these works of art.  They also learned the repousse process which involves manipulating the shape of metal. They had to understand what relief sculpture is, and the concept of convex and concave shapes. The chemical reaction between liver of sulfur and copper was a part of the experience during this learning experience. The stars represent the Lone Star state we live in, and states that each one of the students is a shining star!

 
Meet the artists!
January 16th's Family Day activities will  include a reception for the Copper Stars exhibit in our foyer by the 5th graders from Theiss Elementary School in Spring ISD from 11am to 3pm. The artists from Synergy, An Art Group, will be helping participants learn by doing with some mixed media activities.
