Students from kindergarten to high school were inspired by the colors and images of fall as they created unique artwork during classes led by Art Teachers Sherry Mirakian and Patti Scardilli in October and November. The artwork, showing skills the students learned using paint, quilling, and mixed media, have been on display for several weeks on bulletin boards in the main hallway near the Multi-Purpose Room.
High school students in a Mixed Media class studied the still life collages of Pablo Picasso and Edith Hillanger and then used a different media, including printed paper, newspaper, cardboard, and chalk to create their own still life collages.
In the Middle School Art Studio class, students learned the art form known as quilling or paper filigree — which involved taking strips of paper and rolling, shaping, and gluing them together to create decorative designs.
Kindergarten students in their twice weekly art class painted pumpkins for fall as part of a lesson on colors. The students learned how to make orange and green from the primary colors of red, yellow, and blue.
