St. Mary's Art & Music Show!

On April 10th 2014, St Mary's hosted it's Annual Art & Music Show!  This year the students transformed the upstairs hallway into a tropical rainforest.  I must admit, I think we surprised ourselves, take a look!

8th Graders were given the challenge of basing their compositions off a Henri Rouseau painting.
The results were stunning!

All of the Art on these walls were created in groups.

Breathtaking Waterfall painted by our 8th Graders!

Thank you to all the students for their hard work and our faculty for their patience as we took over the walls of St. Mary School! My main objective in creating this themed Art Show was to give the students the opportunity create something bigger than themselves they could be proud of.  Every student created an individual piece of art as well as worked in groups to draw & paint the amazing tropical rainforest leaves, flowers and animals that make the jungle come to life! Our students came together as a community to create a truly beautiful work of art. So Proud!
