Another Exciting Art
Residency Coming To Banks Road—
During this year’s Artist in Residency, every student at
Banks Road will get to experience working with a professional artist during
their art special. January
21st through 28th we will be hosting the environmental artist
Bryant Holsenbeck. The students will participate in her “Weaving Like a Bird”
residency where they will use recycled materials, string, yarn, old sheets etc
to weave a wall sculpture that will be installed in the school.
We need everyone’s
help collecting fabric for us to use in our artwork! Please send in scrap
fabric, old sheets or curtains, ribbons, and yarn! The more colorful, the
better! If you would like to contribute but don’t have these things lying
around, gift cards to fabric stores like Joanne’s Fabric would be very helpful
and much appreciated as well. Also, keep
a look out for information on ways to volunteer to help with this residency.
Our art teacher, Ms. Stephenson, will collect all
contributions. Please send in contributions through your child or bring them in
to the office with Attn: Ms. Stephenson. She will begin accepting them
immediately. Thank you for your support of Banks Road Visual Arts!
