This week my High School mentor Piper Bolduc and I were busy setting up the district K-12 art show at the Saco Museum. This year the title is "Hungry for Art", and much of the work in the show reflected upon that theme.
It was a wonderful to get to experience setting up a district art show, to meet many other art educators, and to see countless examples of amazing lessons I could potentially teach in the future.
"The Big Chill" was the pride and joy of the advanced art students from Old Orchard Beach High School.
Inside of "The Big Chill", all of the food was made larger than life out of paper mache
Inspired by Andy Warhol's Pop Art prints, this Campbell's soup can was made entirely out of candy by Old Orchard Beach High School students.
Sections were divided by theme, this is the Mexican Cantina.
The museum is filled with SO much art! Here are some of the projects that I really enjoyed:
Paper mache letters by Loranger Middle School 7th grade students, Giacometti figures by 8th grade Saco Middle School students, and Nevelson studies by 1st grade Young Elementary School students.
"Living Letters", a digital design project by Saco Middle School 7th grade students.
Collapsable paper lanterns by Saco Middle School 8th grade students.
Baskets by 5th grade Loranger Middle School students and sandwiches by 1st grade students at Young Elementary School.
We brought some humor to the show by giving captions to the cardboard portraits by 1st grade students at Fairfield Elementary School.
The show is up until April 20th at the Saco Museum located at 371 Main St. Route 1, Saco, ME.
Hours at the museum are:
Tuesday-Thursday- 12:00-4:00PM
Friday- 12:00-8:00PM
Saturday- 10:00AM-4:00PM
