Claude Monet Video : Museum Works from Around the World



Claude Monet Video : Museum Works from Around the World

A collection of works by the famous Impressionist Claude Monet.
My suggestion for viewing this video is to put some classical music
on in the background, put the video in full screen mode
and feel free to pause the video for each painting.

Enjoy!!

Mar Vista's Garden - 2013 Succulent Gardens Rejuvenation Project


During last year's end of the school year 5th grade group art project,
students created a performance art piece sculpture 
that has been recently installed into Mar Vista's Garden.
Here are some stills from the performance piece:



I built these succulent garden frames with wood and gardening mesh.
I sliced holes into the outside of the garden mesh, 
then students planted succulents into the mesh where they would re root into 
the soil pressed in between the mesh, then grow into large succulents 
that mimic how the students move on a grow into young adults.
















Below are the photos I took last week of the succulent gardens 
in their new home.
I was forced to bring the gardens home this summer but they received minimal
amounts of sun.
Luckily our garden receives a great amount of sunlight and 
these succulents should be ready to burst in no time.

So next time you have a moment, make your way over to 
our garden and take a look at our new additions.
