Parents, students, and staff strolled through halls bursting with color and covered in dazzling creations at the annual Art Show on Friday, March 15. Brilliant art was featured by our students—from toddlers to middle schoolers.
Our toddlers created "love birds" to accompany a large collaborative piece called "Love is the Curriculum" and 3D tissue paper flowers for our Black History Artists exhibition. Mexican-style Papel picados lined the ceilings and highlighted a striking wall dedicated to the element of texture in art adorned with dyed string, cardboard, pipe cleaners, and beads.
The older students showcased self-portraits and portraits of their peers in the styles of famous artists, including Frida Kahlo, Roy Lichtenstein, and Matisse. We also had a Dali exhibit featuring renditions of his best-known works, with contributions from our Primary classrooms.
The show's focal point was a large Peace Pillar with peace clouds and love raining down. Every classroom student collaborated on the Peace Pillar, making vines, foliage, clouds, lush flowers, and raining hearts.
As a nationally certified STEM school, we add the "A" for "arts," making us a premier STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) school. To excel in all the sciences, students need the artistic and creative component for prototyping, designing, and fully developing concepts to fruition.
Bravo to our young artists for the masterful works that they spent months creating. Thank you to Ms. Nicole Rivera, our art teacher, and the parent volunteers who came together to produce the 2024 Art Show, transforming the 50 Regent building into an exhibition for our school community to enjoy.
