The 9/11 Memorial honors the sad day of loss in our country. Artists, architects and designers used their talents to create a memorial that honors the horrible events on 9/11.
Here is video of architect Michael Arad discussing the memorial.

Here is video of one of the artists discussing the lighting installation created that will be on this evening.

This display, known as Tribute in Light®, appears as twin shafts filling the void of where the World Trade Center twin towers previously stood in lower Manhattan. The memorial plaza will be open on Sept. 11 to the general public for the first time since the attacks, from 6:00 p.m. to midnight, for anyone who wants a closer look at this feat of illumination. Tribute in Light® has become known throughout the world as an example of the healing power of art as people remember and revisit the 9/11 Memorial.

After 9/11, several individuals came up with the idea of two beams of light rising above the skyline of New York. These artists, lighting designers and architects collaborated as part of the effort to promote unity during the massive rescue and recovery that was underway. The team received a grant from the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation and additional assistance by Con Edison, New York’s utility company. Six months after 9/11, the lighting tribute was presented for the first time on March 11, 2002. It was produced by the Municipal Art Society of New York (MAS), founded in 1893 to preserve landmarks and public spaces, and Creative Time, an organization that commissions public art.

The 9/11 Memorial created the Artist Registry. This is a database of professional and novice artists who created of works of art in response to 9/11. It is a wonderful collection of art from around the world and a great way to see how others express there feelings and emotions through art.

The Middle School Art Camp filled up so fast that I was able to offer a second week of art fun! We had another great group of students in grades 6-8 join us. The young artists created collages, paintings, drawings, and explored lots of their own ideas through a choice based art area. We also sprinkled in some games and play time too! And most importantly the students made some new friendships and now know even more students entering the middle school. Here are some great pictures from our week.

And special thanks to Sophia Lupo and Anthony Squillini who were our fantastic camp counselors!

Educators from all disciplines had the opportunity to explore their inner artist for a four day workshop. They had the chance to draw, paint, sketch and collage. They each explored a variety of ideas, concepts and materials. Some educators were new to the course and many were repeats. Check out their great work and see what that had to say about the experience.

Here are some of the Take Aways from the educators:

​-Make time to be creative
-Working with others to get feedback is very helpful
-Process over product
-Take a risk
-Revise and Revisit
-Enjoyable, Relaxing, Inspiring
-One is never to old to be an artist
-Incorporate more art opportunities into your life

I also asked the educators to share how this workshop will impact their teaching practice and this is what they shared:

Remind students that everyone has different abilities. Be non-judgmental and find the positive in everyones work

It is important to be patient- the process of teaching requires the patience to allow the student to learn the steps and move ahead as they master eash step

Through my own experience taking this workshop, I can model what it is like to overcome your fear if trying something new or something you don't already know you're good at

I'd love to incorporate an art corner in my classroom for more creative activities in my classroom.

Session 1 of Middle School Summer Art camp was a blast! We had 24 artists who participated in four days of art making fun. The students left camp with their arms full of artwork and lots of new friends! 

Check out some of the great art that was created and the middle schoolers enjoying ART and creative time to explore and play!

The Drawing and Painting students selected from one of three assignments. These great assignments are courtesy of Art Educator Laura Johnson (and are fabulous!) 
and are linked up HERE.

Here are some of their works of art that show range and variety of subject and content. 

A few years ago the Art Department started pre and post assessments of students artwork to measure their growth and improvement. At the beginning and end of the school year the students drew self portraits.  It is great to see their growth and development with their drawing skills!

** There are a few spots left in Session 2!
