Art Studio Class Notes

Our months long collaborative project is up at the Parrish Art Museum!

Our exhibit, 'Masks Whisper Stories,' is Hayground's installation that is the culmination of our study of masks from around the world. Students studied the history and cultures of masks throughout Asia, the South Pacific Islands, Central and South America, The Pacific Northwest and countries throughout Africa. Students then envisioned and created their own masks out of a variety of materials - Clay, plaster, paper, paint, feathers, beads, mosaic tiles, toy pieces and found objects. Please check out the interview in this week's East Hampton Star (Thurs. March 12) with student Valentine Cavin about Hayground's exhibit.

Students have since been diving into other materials and concepts - observational drawing and painting, cardboard collage, sculpture, constructions and model buildings. The inspiration, ingenuity, and creativity of the students of all ages knows no bounds!
