Another month in the books and a new month is here. As we welcome in February, we have some fun updates to share.
First off, the girls varsity basketball team will conduct its senior night this evening at 5:45, prior to tip-off against Medina Christian Academy. Tomorrow evening, the boys varsity basketball team will honor its seniors before battling Lincoln West. Please come out and support these Winter senior athletes for having wonderful careers on the hardwood.
Next, students in the Art Honors Society (Anisha Monger, Giada Santin, and Jade Freed) have been working on a mural in Mr. Larson’s office (pictured below) since last September. The idea for this spectacular work of art came from a need for dramatic change to an old mural in its current place. The mural covers floor to ceiling, and their work is an impressive story of determination and hard work.
So, how did all of this come together?
“Mr. Larson wanted a landscape mural, specifically a road to imagine himself riding his motorcycle. We sent references and started to work on the ideas for all the trees and different colors. Ultimately, a Fall scene was chosen. We redid a lot of things and changed some ideas; it was tough considering the atmosphere and perspective, specifically adding depth with the grass and sky making it lighter and stronger in the back. We split up roles. Giada did the trees, Jade worked on the sky and road, and Anisha the grass and leaves. We asked others for their thoughts and took their constructive criticism from their perspectives,” stated Art teacher Mr. Chris Kaspar.
These three students did a remarkable job with Mr. Larson’s mural. Excellent work Giada, Jade, and Anisha!
