How are these funky pieces of art created?  According to Shanda McCloskey, our wonderful art teacher here at Creekview, the sculptures are created the following way:

The students work in groups of 4-5.  They begin by choosing one member to be “wrapped.”  The first layer is saran wrap and then 4 to five layers of packaging tape is applied on top of the models limbs and torso.  After the tape layers are thick enough to stand on their own, the students are cut out of their new “tape shells” leaving a hollow tape cast.

Now Showing: Dramatic Self Portraits and Color Poetry Art!

Dramatic self portraits of Creekview Students are now on display in the Unquiet Library! Visual Art students drew and inked high contrast images of themselves using the grid method and referring to photographs. Colors were used to suggest further moods or emotions to these, already, intimate pieces of art.

We also have artistic interpretations of color poems written by members of The Live Poet Society. Come check out the great new additions to the art gallery at The Unquiet Library!
