Hey Mustangs. Come join us in creating a schoolwide art installation that showcases your individuality. Our goal is that every student decorates a paint stick to be hung on display for all to see. The art rooms will have free materials on hand for you to use, and if you are lacking in ideas, we will be there to assist you. You may also choose to work from home. Either way, just transform your stick to showcase your unique self through the art of collage, painting, drawing, crafting, written text, etc. Your personal creation will help make connections to those around you and will be a highlighted installation at our student art show in May. Hope to see you at one or more of the open studio dates listed on the flier below and don’t forget to bring your friends. Click for a flyer.
