Students have been hard at work bringing our Gaudi-inspired collaborative sculpture to life, which will soon be featured in the Parris Art Museum’s Student Exhibition. Drawing inspiration from natural forms and organic architecture, they have been painting the structure and embellishing its surface with fabric, found objects, and a variety of materials to create a textured and dynamic piece.

Students have been exploring a variety of art techniques in the studio, including painting, charcoal drawing, and renderings inspired by animal-made structures. They’ve also been experimenting with materials like watercolors and clay to expand their creative approaches.

In addition to students diving into clay, drawing, painting and sculpture, we have started our big school-wide collaborative project! Inspired by the Spanish designer and architect, Antoni Gaudi, we have been studying the intersection of sculpture, architecture and the natural world.
