Art Show 2024

There are multiple stages to artistic development.  Dr. Viktor Lowenfeld in his book Creative and Mental Growth, categorizes them as: Scribble, Pre-Schematic, Schematic, Dawning Realism, Pseudo-Naturalistic, and the Decision Stage. In a cross level collaborative project inspired by Maurice Sendak’s classical book, Where the Wild Things Are. Our elementary students started the project by creating their own monsters inspired by the book. The drawings were then shared with our middle school students. They used them as inspiration to create their own 3-D ceramic sculptures. Finally, digital or traditional drawings were created by our high school students based upon the middle school sculptures. We appreciate that our students were inspired by Mr. Sendak and each other. Having the students cultivate their ideas to empower them artistically has made this a rewarding experience.
