Finally Finished, And on to the Next Project

The permanent art display in the library is finally finished! All seven canvasses are in place, and they are absolutely incredible! Each showcases such amazing talent and displays a unique style so they truly balance out the wall above the bookcases.


We also now have three mounted origami art pieces, two of which are framed, displayed in another area of the media center. These pieces are also part of the permanent art exhibit. Our temporary art is through both art teachers, and changes throughout each semester.

Well, usually this would be seen as a great support of the arts with visual displays of student work. However, with the assistance of some equally talented students, we will soon have more art promoting the media center! I would hate for anyone to think art only belongs in a frame or on a wall so....

Members of the Honors Chorus, as well as other students who volunteer to assist, will be choreographing an original music video promoting the library! The words of a song have been changed to highlight what the library has to offer (as well as how much fun the library and reading can be), and now we will add performing arts to our permanent art collection, albeit on the website rather than the wall.

As soon as this great group of students finishes their hard work, the video will be posted here.

This has inspired an idea for next year....a music video contest promoting the library announced in January with the winner announced during National Library Week! I think I'll post them on here, my website and the school Facebook page, and have a most popular vote category too. What do you think?
