RJR received a $6500 grant from the NC Arts Council to explore our 2016-2017 focus of Access through the Arts and to have a residency with local sculptor, Kathleen Ramich. Kathleen has been working with history and visual art students and teachers since the second week of school. Together, they are exploring visual literacy, symbols in political art, the UN Declaration of Human Rights, and displaced groups of people. Stop by and see the progress! (Below is a close up image of some of the Wishes/Prayers of Access written by students in a piano class.)
AP Art Drawing students have been working with Kathleen on metal "piers" that each represent a different group of displaced persons. They have been researching, discussing history/current events/symbolism/technique/visual literacy, analyzing, and creating. Here are some images capturing this work in process.
