Art News from Mr. Melle
BES Art, February 2025
This week our BES artists started building sculptures for the Children and the Arts parade. They designed sculptures that are festive, sturdy, visible from a distance, and transportable. They began by brainstorming ideas, building structures, and constructing forms from cardboard. Next they will decorate their sculptures with texture and color.
I look forward to helping students complete their sculptures when I return for the week of April 7th. Students and family members are encouraged to carry their artwork in the Children and the Arts parade on May 17th. More information will be coming soon! Thank you for supporting creativity!
