The art room is bursting at the seams with all kinds of beautiful creations for the winter program next week. Creating costumes, sets and props is a collaborative and creative art process for the lower schoolers. The program is truly a reflection of our students' learning and experiences in the arts. Creating artwork with a real-life application lends a level of excitement and pride in what students make.
As the young artists are creating work, they are being challenged with how to use materials in a creative and meaningful manner, how to best execute their ideas and how to negotiate when working in groups; from papier-maching cardboard trees, to sharing space when painting an 18-foot sun, to negotiating who draws which picture for a projected background, the lower school students have been doing important work to bring their show to life as well as to learn life-long skills about how to work collaboratively. We can't wait to share all the beautiful pieces they have created in the show next week.
