A Busy New Year!

Students from the Davidson School have been busy creating ceramic dream home tiles and  fabric work for colorful collaborative quilts.  There are three quilts  in all, to be exhibited from March 17th  through April 4th at the Main Line Art Center.  " A Celebration of Voices"  will include 3 galleries showing the work of students at the Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired, the Davidson School and work from the Exceptional Art  program at Main Line Art Center.  The work of other local special artist  community venues will also be exhibited.  Some adult work will be for sale.
Here is some work in process:


Students were asked questions about themselves to make up a poem.  Each rectangle is comprised of oil pastel resist painting.  This one is only partially complete.  One poem reads:

I am Dante
I hear winds blowing
I touch my mothers hands
I see myself in Africa

Special thanks to quilt artist  Lisa Hart for her donation of fabric and consultation.

Students were asked a word to describe the concept of "Home"
Their words are written on their ceramic tile home fronts.
