This year at Riverside a group of sixth grade students from the Comets team spent the first nine weeks of SOAR in the Art room. This new class, SOAR with Art, is designed for those students who are not in Band or Choir as an extra Art enrichment. Students discovered new artists, discussed contemporary art, and developed their own individual projects.
Each student chose a topic, designed a project, and completed the piece in time for an end of the nine weeks gallery display. The subject of the artwork was completely up to the student and ranged from Minecraft to Arcimboldo. One student illustrated and wrote an entire comic book while another designed a new CD/mp3 player and built it in SketchUp. Some used paint and colored pencil, others clay and cardboard, while a few produced their work digitally. One student found a contemporary artist whose paintings of fish inspired her to build her own clay fish and rod.
The students’ work is currently on display in the Riverside foyer, along with their artist statements. Come check out the amazing work of these great new artists!
