It’s National Arts in Education Week, and BHS sculpture students have been busy transforming their ideas and inspiration into meaningful works of art. This quarter they are exploring with paper mache, with a current focus on “manipulating materials, techniques, and processes through practice and perseverance to create a desired result.” Our student artists are the heart of our visual and tactile arts program, and we are so proud of the creativity, critical thinking, and collaborative spirit they demonstrate each day. We hope you enjoy these works in progress from the studio!
