This exhibit featured artwork from each of the five Door County school districts. Artwork represented the effect living surrounded by water in Door County has on them, what it means to them to live near a body of water. Both artwork and artist statements were specific to Door County waterways.
Spring 2018
Students in grade 9 worked on this exhibit in their Humanities, English and Art classes. Through this project students learned more about the immigration experience by discovering and writing about a person they know in the present or past who was an immigrant. In Humanities and English class students researched the immigrant’s story and developed a fictional narrative about their experience that is set in the actual timeframe of their immigration. In Art class students created a visual rendering of the immigrant. The exhibit focused on the values freedom and liberty as they relate to immigration by displaying the visual renderings of the immigrants, a paragraph about their immigration experience and a fictional reflection on the lesson learned or inspiration gained from the experience of immigration.
Winter/Spring 2018
This exhibit was part of the Gibraltar Spanish Literacy Celebration. In the school we had a Salvador Dali Traveling Exhibit on surrealism. Students in High School Art and Grade 3 created an image to show their wildest invention and explained what it did; or redesigned something that exists to be more useful, interesting or creative; or created an imaginary surreal world.
Winter 2018
Students explored how our actions create our character and they share their words of wisdom. Elementary students reflected on some of the actions the character took in their favorite books. Students in grade 5 worked with author, John Coy, on developing their characters and in art class with Karla Donohue to create 3-D representations of their characters. Students in grade 4 worked with Mike Scoville in the Elementary Library to create an image of a real or imaginary hero using transfer plates. In their artist statement they reflect on how the actions of their hero do good in the world. Students in high school art found a quote they liked or they wrote their own and create a piece of art related to the quote. Some high school students worked with artist and author, Jill Harding, to create their words of wisdom.
Winter 2017/18
For this exhibit Gibraltar students capture everyday kindness they encountered on camera. They could catch someone doing something kind or they could create a scene with friends or family that shows what kindness means to them. In their photo statements they reflected on how experiencing kind acts inspire them to do kind acts.
