Last year in 4th grade, the current 5th graders learned all about museums. They spent time virtually visiting museums, learning about the roles of people within a museum, and even curated and hosted their own Windsor Art Museum gallery opening. This year, the 5th graders finally get to go to an art museum to see everything they learned about first-hand. Not only will they get to visit a museum, but they will also have the opportunity to see an exhibition related to our current project.
Inflatable art is a form of contemporary art. The 5th graders are not creating inflatable art per se, but are constructing sculptures that look similar to inflatable art. Jeff Koons is a popular modern artist that also created sculptures to resemble inflatable art. The themes of his artwork were typically based on things that made him happy and were important to him. To learn more about Jeff Koons and his inflatable art click here. The 5th graders had to choose an object that brings them joy, or represents who they are for their sculptures. The Inflatable Art exhibition at the Elmhurst Art Museum will give the students further ideas for their projects.
