Come Sail Away...
Come Sail Away by Styx is what you hear playing in the background as you view the video below that showcases the newest additions to the art room. I only had 5-7 days to work on the room, (the room was in use throughout the summer), so like last year, (during the construction), my visions were restricted by the time that was allotted me. However, like the song suggest, there are setbacks, but we carry on and will yet sail away into a grand year of great art.
I have increased the number of projects for all of the grades. This is in response to surveys/critiques of the curriculum; students actually requested more projects - challenging them to be ever increasingly creative. Art production will be in keeping with contemporary themes and cultural issues - giving voice to the thoughts and concerns of our youth. Many youth want to leave their mark, their legacy - a positive presence at Nichols - Art this year will afford every youth, everyday the opportunity to be expressive, no matter what it takes; and you the viewer will see wonders, as we all ride the wave on our great sailboat and sail away...
We sailed the wave right into next year! Here's the link to the new website: http://mrsbensonsartclass2015-16.weebly.com/
