About this School Project (1- Mark Rothko)
Artist Mark Rothko is known for his large paintings of color fields. Colors can represent many different emotions and invoke memories. Each person can have their own unique response to a specific color. Red might make you mad and someone else happy. Each student analyzed the colors in Mark Rothko’s art and discussed how it made them feel and why they felt that way. Then they created their own color fields with soft pastels and sponges.
Jackson G. Smith is a 10-year-old student at Martin J. Gottlieb Day School who has embraced his passion for art from a young age. Inspired by his grandfather, artist David Eldridge Smith, Jackson discovered his love for creativity in Kindergarten while studying under the guidance of S. Gutterman, the school’s beloved art teacher. Through these early experiences, Jackson has developed a deep appreciation for self-expression and the emotional impact of art.
His grandfather, David Eldridge Smith, was once quoted “The true worth in art lies in the emotions it can relieve or inspire. I see everyone as having talent in some area, and people should pursue their gifts. If you can't find commercial worth that makes you money, find something that makes you rich inside. All the money in the world can't get you happiness.”
Jackson embodies this philosophy in his work, demonstrating that artistic talent is not only a means of expression but also a source of personal fulfillment.
