Conceptual Art Installations!

What is Conceptual Art? In art class, the 3rd graders have been figuring out important parts of art making and art production including conceptual art. Conceptual art is not so much about the art itself, but the statement or message that comes out of the artwork. We've looked at artists like Damien Hirst, Felix Gonzales-Torres, Christo, and Jesus Rafael Soto. We've also been exploring the ideas behind Cloud Gate (aka The Bean), For the love of God, and various light installations. Students then had only two class periods to come up with their own conceptual art projects and install them around the school. They are located throughout Blaine Hall on all four floors!
