October is a busy month at the Top. We made\u00a0masks with a new kind of paper mach\u00e9 since newspaper is so hard to find these days. Art\u00a0with a purpose, like mask-making, is very satisfying as we experiment with materials and techniques, learn a lot, and end up with a useful item. \u00a0This week Bones McJones will be posing for us. Skeleton art is really good for teaching anatomy, proportions, foreshortening, values, and then some.<\/p>\n

Big congratulations to Charlotte Holl and Lila Hogan for their awards at the Young at Art Show at the Plymouth Center for the Arts! \u00a0Enjoy the artworks and scroll down for the schedule.<\/p>\n
