Guest Artist Thea Alvin shares with us her art of building with stones!

During the second week of May, the K-6th grade art classes hosted stone mason, artist and designer Thea Alvin.  At the beginning of each class, Thea shared slides of her stone art installations that are in Vermont and around the country.

In Good Time, 2014, Saint Michael's College, Colchester, Vermont

After Thea's slide presentation in the art room, we went outside and she shared with us her love of stones.  She taught us how to build walls and arches, how to look at the stones and how they relate to each other.  




Even when the weather was too cold and wet to be outside, we built with stones inside!
