LepsArt - A Year in Review

My first year at Louisville Middle school was a good one! I can't believe it has come to an end.

The students were kind and hardworking, and their art was really impressive.

Students were eager to share their creativity through social media platform, Instagram, with their hashtag #lepsart. We had fun with our food around Thanksgiving and worked on art that wasn't just an assignment.

I saw students receive local recognition for their artistic endeavors through ArtsInStark and Battle of the Brush. The Louisville District Art Show was memorable as many ribbons were handed out by local artist, Tim Carmany, and Massillon Museum curator, Mandy Pond.

Outside of class I saw a student showing her personal work at a local gallery.

Really, the dedication of these students is remarkable.

Art I - Visiting Artist, Maritza Lugo

We were lucky enough to have visiting artist and illustrator, Maritza Lugo, stop into the classroom and talk a little about having a career in the art world.

She offered us insight into how to become better at art (keep practicing!) and let us know that it takes hard work and dedication, but it is definitely possible to have a job in the arts.

Everything is a Remix

Students in Theatre and Art watched parts of Kirby Ferguson's Everything is a Remix and discussed their own experiences with creativity and what they've seen "remixed" from other works of film, art, theatre and music.
