what they noticed 3 - little town

Portions continue from one class period on Tuesday, Nov.17th. Sharing painted panels with art students at Carrollton Elementary School, in Carrollton, MO (Student are unnamed) Double click on images.

Karl Marxhausen (KM): Good. Excellent. Let's go on another round (pulling out a piece for each table)

There is lots of chatter, faces crowded around, hands touching the varnished surface, expressive fingers, sharing impressions for two minutes.

KM: Time's up. Someone different needs to come up. Who is it? (Three students line up in front of the class)



A student with Short hair and Black sweater (SB) holds up 8 x 7 inches panel.
"Okay. What I think is, this is a river, and this is a little meadow over here. And these are trees that come to the middle, whatever you come to see up here, and these are trees and stuff. And this is probably like a hill, because all you can see are the tree tops and some sky. And this is probably another hill. And this is probably a little bit of water."  SB
KM: Excellent.

+++++


A student with Blue Headband Blue outfit (BHB) holds up 14 x 11 inch canvas panel [2009] and shares it.
"It looks like a garden at night. Like if you are lying on the ground and you look and see the shadows in the background at night, like up close in the garden. All different darker colors like you see at night. And the brighter green kind of looks like something has been shining on it, the moon maybe." BHB
KM: Is there anything on the back?
BHB: No.
KM: Is there anything in the corner on the back?
BHB: Yes. There is a sticker that reads: "Raymar. Raymar.com 888 809 3314"
KM: Yea, yea, so this is a canvas that is glued to a board. And there are places on-line where you can order these things for X number amount of dollars. A lot of the stuff I painted on was board, like go to the lumberyard or like that. Okay, next.


A student with Black Hair Pulled back (BHP) holds her group's piece up.
"Uh, my group thought this was like a little town with tall trees. And it is day and there are shadows off of the little houses and it's out in the country."  BHP
KM: Does it say anything on the back?
BHP: Yes. Karl Marxhausen 9 - 21 - 04

KM: So what year was it done in?
BHP: 2004
KM: Thank you. You guys are awesome. I love this. We will do another round.
