The middle schoolers at Irvington have kicked off the year discussing their personal definitions of art. I know when I was in middle school, when I pictured an "artist" in my head, I imagined something similar to this silly drawing. In reality, there are so many varieties of "artist" - architects, fashion designers, filmmakers, animators, illustrators, jewelry-makers, interior designers, graphic designers, and more! After sharing our opinions on a variety of artworks, students filled the outlines of their hands with their own definitions of art. Some students used words, some drew symbols, and some artists created abstract patterns and designs. Just like in the art world, no two looked the same! Check out these beautiful artworks on display in the upstairs hallway!
