6. Explain how each piece uses the elements of art and the principles of design (look closely at color, texture, positive and negative space especially)

Belmont Mansion Collaboration
Students at Nashville School of the Arts will soon be taking a field trip to the Belmont Mansion. Before we leave for our experience, students will "draw" an artists name from a "hat" and learn more about their visual language. While they are at the mansion, students will look at the portraits, landscapes, still life, grounds, interior spaces, exterior, wallpapers, textiles... anything that inspires them artistically speaking "through the lens" of the artist they selected. During the second nine weeks of school, each class will have a different assignment in response to our field trip.

My First Day at NSA - Nashville School of the Arts
These lovely doodles were created on the first day of visual art class by Ar I , Art II and Art Survey students as a warm up in about 15 minutes. Our first day was only a 1/2 day where I met about 140 students in 20 minute frantic rotations of checking roll and passing outa d picking up papers. The students shared something they most wanted me to know about them on the back. I didn't get a chance to look at them until Saturday night. As I started going through these I literally did so with my hand on my heart in awe of their unique expressions, their humor, their beauty, their courage. Later when I read the second day questionnaire I had given them where they elaborated more about themselves I realized even more how brave all these teen artists are because many of them were feeling insecure about their drawing abilities or speaking in front of the class. Each one of these is the reflection of genius that each of these hands, hearts, and minds possess and I value them greatly for their creativity and range of expression.
Here are some of the things they wanted me to know about them:
I like to eat a lot
I love nature, especially the beach
I typically draw a lot of animals ( mostly horses) or abstract things
I need to work on creativity
I am a caring person
I am fun to hang with
I love drawing a lot of things most of the time I can't draw my own thing unless it's really crazy
I'm super creative and bubbly and very expressive... Be prepared (heart)
I'm really interested in Renaissance painting and I'm excited to learn more about it
I prefer to be alone
I like drawing superheroes
I don't like talking a lot or being put on the spot
I lived in Hawaii all my life
I don't have a favorite color- I can never decide
I am hard working and I like to draw pictures that I can see
I don't know what my strong part in art is
I never had much of an art class before, and I can't really draw that well. I usually paint abstract things and what not.
Last year was the first year of art I've taken in 3 Yeats and I only took that half the year
I am obsessed with several books and TV shows and will most likely make reference to myself and google silently.
There will never be a day when you don't catch me drawing.
I don't like groups or people.
I am the type of person who, if in the mood, can create a masterpiece. If not, I am the same as a pencil pouch. Just there!
I don't like public speaking
I struggle with creativity
I love food music and art.
I'm a good artist when I try
Welcome!!!
Welcome to NSA!
I enjoy the surreal. I don't really have anything else to say.
This year is going to be great!
I can't wait to be in this class I'm sure you'll be a great teacher I hope we have a wonderful school year together!
I am new to NSA
You seem very nice! This is going to be a good year!
I am excited for this class and I am glad you're our teacher
I struggle with creativity
I want to become a fashion designer
I am also a dancer
I am not organized
I like to draw anime- style though I can draw realistic I've always wanted to paint clouds
I really like drawing and sketching, and I most often relate my sketches to books I like or something I have an interest in and try to replicate. I try really hard with my work , and I am somewhat of a perfectionist
I am not an organized person
I have never had any art classes. I like drawing anime eyes

Collaborative Paintings and Collaborative Music
|
Beth (pictured) opened up the event with a great introduction that was supportive of each person's creative process and the power of vision when we all come together to play and support the larger Nashville Community. This even was defiantly a time for play! The My Emma space located in downtown Nashville near the Cumberland River is a great place to play. |
Artists and Art Teachers: Rachel Motta, Aimee Hall (Wink Wink Eye Wear) and Camilla Spadafino As a Metro Nashville Public School art teacher who leads 5 creative sessions with students daily I was interested in finding out what it would be like to be a participant. I listened with earnestness as Beth gave a series of 8 directions that lead to a finished painting that involved some 25 - 30 people working together. Working with large groups is typical for art teachers, but this setting, the inclusion of music and the actual process was far from a regular art class. I was thrilled to see three of my fellow MNPS art colleagues at this event. We bonded over our art teacher glasses! |

Celebrating Struggle
I adore this inspiring video that illustrates the importance for struggle and failure as valuable parts of the creative process.

Prayers for the Neighborhood
In "Prayers for the Neighborhood" four of the five major world religions are represented as additions to "Ms. Camilla's Neighborhood Series," Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Hinduism. Out of respect to the rules of the Islamic religion no icon of their faith is represented in the series. The slogan of the Tomato Art Show is "The tomato is the uniter not the divider." Each piece is acrylic paint and ink on an 8X10 canvas. "Prayers for the Neighborhood" is on display and are for sale at the Art and Invention Gallery. Displayed next to each painting is the companion coloring sheets which are also for sale. Each of the paintings needs a title, share you comments below or on Facebook.
Community Spirit
"Community Spirit"
16X20 acrylic and ink on canvas
“It is possible that the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community – a community practicing understanding and loving kindness, a community practicing mindful living. This may be the most important thing we can do for the survival of the earth.”Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese Buddhist teacher
This beautiful quote by Thich Nhat Hanh inspired this painting for the 2013 Tomato Art Show and is currently on display at Art and Invention Gallery along with the below coordinating 16X20 coloring sheets which are also for sale at the gallery.
