More Wednesday Afternoon Happenings - Art Club

Just down the hall from the StudCo meeting in room 101, art was being made!
Here's Matt working on a scratch art portrait of JPII himself.

Art was being made and fun was being had:
Club Sponsor, Mrs. Semmes was working on her own "scratch" art project, inspired at least in part by the desire to put to use some materials (a type of carbon paper) already on hand and seemingly going to waste.


Mrs. Semmes shared her vision for turning the empty field (and long-distance future home of more classrooms..?) into an art installation. Her plan includes making use of a role of vinyl that was donated to the school. The idea of taking old, overlooked, or any type of material that is otherwise headed for the landfill and turning it into art really seems to inspire her. Mrs. Semmes has promised to provide Student Council with more information about this project so that we can help recruit anyone who is interested to participate in the experience of making art. I think brooms and lots of splashing paint are going to be involved!
