Allen Brook and Mansfield Art Studios

The painting above, made in '08-'09, depicts the old Williston train station. This is one of two images that depict historic buildings of our town. The children learned how to project an image, copy it onto canvas and observe angles, color values and tones and other details from the original black and white photos. They also imagined the colors of the building, sidewalks, train, clothing and surrounding landscape. The paintings hung for a while at Dorothy Alling Library and now are at Allen Brook School.

"Magical Villages" - Photo Shop Images by First and Second Graders

Original drawings were scanned into the computer where each "Graphic Artist" opened his or her file.



The artists worked through a number of visual drafts, exploring many tools and filters before arriving at a final image.
