8th Grade Legacy Project Silk Painting and More

Through a special grant this year, I had the opportunity to work with the 8th graders on a special project to revamp our chapel and make it more "user friendly." A student-led creative problem-solving process resulted in some great ideas. We spent many art classes painting eight 6x18 foot silk panels to create new curtains to fill the room with light and color. The students also painted a special bookshelf, ordered new lighting, and created a tablecover for the lecturn. 





Use this QR code to see a video if the curtain being installed and the 8th graders' reaction.
