Student Artwork
Sara's art education approach emphasizes the creating of art and the
use of imagination for self-expression, and aims to develop a deeper understanding
of the role of the arts throughout history and the relevance of art education
in the development of higher order thinking skills, problem solving ability,
and increased motivation to learn.

In this unit, Sara's students studied design, color, and the work of Vincent Van
Gogh.
Each student did an oil pastel enlargement from one small square of a
print of "Starry Night".
Students are proud of the
result which includes all 20 of their enlarged 8"x8" squares hung
together.

Post-Modern Reinterpretation of Van Gogh's Starry Night done by the students using the complements of the colors used in the original.
Each square was done by a different student.
Here, Sara stands with an exhibit of her students' work held at the "Artists in the Country" Show organized by art patron and educator, Ann Chuk, in September at her beautiful location in West Woodstock, CT.
