Creating A Restorative Environment
Celebrating Black History Month:
Title: Together
By: Mr. D. Bonnell- IHS Art Teacher
All of us find us situated within a paradigm that has never existed before. Our lives have been arrested by a virus. It affects everything. Staying encouraged and focused on the future can be a very hard thing. Words and sermons express the moment, but they always fall short. This is where we need art to help us out.
Art picks us up where words fail. Art can embrace you visually verses
just chatting about being held. At Islands High School our theme is
to work as a staff to swarm together as sharks do within a school.
The swarming causes a vortex of flow and energy allowing the school
to work as one unit. Therefore, as the art instructor at IHS I am attempting
to produce art that takes us beyond the words of encouraging lectures
and speeches. I am attempting to create art that embraces and enables
staff and students to focus that we are all in this moment, together, like
a swarm.
I choose to improve the entrance to the school so that as soon as one
enters they are encouraged with art that visually establishes our task,
that we work together as students and staff. As one enters into the
main intersection of the atrium three large paintings on wood panels
will greet you with three quotes related to CARE-ing. They will be completed
within days and mounted to the walls with more art yet to come
throughout the building in the coming months.
With parents, students and teachers working TOGETHER we will all
come through this trial and we will all be stronger because of it.
Perhaps the post virus era will show us just how important it is
then to work--TOGETHER.
