Welcome to TVM’s student Winter 2024 Art Showcase! Treasure Village Montessori (TVM) is a public VPK through 8th grade charter school in Islamorada, that merges public and Montessori education in a student-centered learning environment. Treasure Village Montessori students VPK through 8th grade studied the works of Dean Russo, Paul Klee, Wyland, Charles Schulz and local artist Pasta Pantaleo.
During this unit students used oil pastels, watercolors, stamping, ink, pastels and mixed media. Each class studied a different artist and animal, learning the background and art style of the master artist. Students created work capturing our local animals in the Florida Keys from turtles, birds, coral, manatees, dolphins, keys deer, and our beloved local animal shelters.
