Garden City High School artists guide Locust students in art and literacy activity
Members of the Garden City High School National Art Honor Society partnered with students from Locust School for a collaborative sculpture project, guided by National Art Honor Society adviser Ms. Amanda Marino and Locust art teacher Ms. Nicole Leyland.
The lesson was based off the children's book, “I'm NOT just a Scribble,” written and illustrated by Diane Alber. High school artists Millie DeLaricheliere, Gracie Krawiec, Molly Pryor and Keira Regan led the project by reading the story aloud and guiding the younger students through the hands-on activity. Locust students followed along step by step using pipe cleaners, googly eyes and glue to design their own 3D versions of the "scribble" character from the book.
“The final products were amazing, bringing smiles and laughter to everyone's faces,” said Ms. Marino and Ms. Leyland. “This hands-on project bridged literacy and the visual arts together in a creative and fun way!”
