Spring Arts in Aroostook

Aroostook Centre Mall – until May 16

Lincoln Academy Art Show

Opening March 31

Waterville High School

The image is one of 90+ different invitations/announcements for this event.

Each student artist/designer/filmmaker creates a personalized announcement that features her or his work. Students print and cut at least four copies on a sheet that is pre-printed on the back with the event information. One goes to the art teacher for the archives and one must be hand delivered to an adult that works in the school (custodian, administrator, support staff, food service or faculty). The value of promotion and advocacy is discussed and practiced (even hand shaking!) Someday students may be promoting a service, product, idea or self, and this simple word document (for introductory level students) is a great place to start.

Thank you to Kay Allison, art teacher at Lewiston Middle School, for the idea passed on to Suzanne Goulet, Waterville Senior High School art teacher.

Troy Howard Middle School

“I say Tomato ,You Say Tomato”

The students and staff of Troy Howard Middle School in Belfast has used their collaborative creative energy to combine two facets of the school’s program to form a fascinating art exhibit at the Belfast Co-op.  The title of the show, “I say Tomato ,You Say Tomato” reflects the ecology department as well as the art department. Each year the two departments coordinate using a theme to represent Troy Howard Middle School’s philosophy. This includes Ecology as one of it’s three Academies and the Art Department as an essential piece to all criteria of Education.
The show is comprised of 12 Tomato projects. Mediums include clay, paper mache, paint, pencil, ink, and a full sized farmer!  Pieces are for sale and six have been sold!  The show runs until the end of the month-don’t miss it!

Thank you to art teacher Lynnette Sproch for sending the information and photographs for this blog post.
