Sixth Grade Art “Worlds”

by Evan Finkelstein and Leon Davis

In this project, Art Teacher Laura Stern asked the sixth graders to create a three-dimensional scene representing a world. Everyone had unique, creative ideas and used varied materials to bring them to life. Students produced underwater environments; a fashion world complete with a runway; a flowery park with a towering tree and another with flying fish; a high-rise bubble-home in the clouds, and a multi-level home with working lights; a world where animals are educated; a candy-land and a dream world; a fiery world and a farm; a seashore with a seagull flying overhead; a car show environment; and worlds filled with monsters, darkness and light.

On March 8th, all these worlds were presented to Barrack Hebrew Academy students and staff at a gala lunchtime reception. Much effort had been put into the projects by the students, who had worked on their worlds since the beginning of the school year. The only thing that could have made the experience better would have been if more people had come to see it.
