RHS ART CLUB MAKES A MURAL WITH JOYCE RAIMONDO
(APRIL 29, 2014 - JUNE 10, 2014) The Art Club used the money it made from fund-raisers throughout the year (like the Sidewalk Painting day on Earth Day shown below) to pay for a workshop with well known artist Joyce Raimondo. Formerly at The Museum of Modern Art, Joyce Raimondo is a leading expert in visual literacy - teaching young audiences how to "read" pictures. Her groundbreaking questioning technique invites 100% participation as students describe and interpret what they see in famous art.
Also a professional artist and author, Raimondo discusses her own work and serves as a role model for students on how to follow one's creative vision. The hands-on workshops offer highly innovative techniques that maximize creative thinking. Through her school workshops, she models -- for teachers and students alike -- how to express one's creative spirit.
The members of the HS Art Club began by drawing and assembling a montage of an ocean scene with construction paper. Working with Ms. Raimondo and RHS art teacher Jennifer Howlett, the students will create a large mural with a BLUE WAVE ocean scene as its basis. The first step in the process was to work with Ms. Raimondo to create panels that will form the mural. Once they are finished conceptualizing the scene, Ms. Raimondo will help them transfer their ideas and guide the students as they paint the mural on a large canvas which when completed will hang in the hallway of the art wing of the high school.
