Wacky Wendy Performs at MCS!

We were fortunate to have local artist and performer Wacky Wendy come perform on Thursday, May 21st.  Wendy is an improvisational entertainer by nature, a sculptor by training, and a paper wizard by craft.  Wendy has been dazzling people with her paper sculpture shows since the 1980's; on the streets, at parties, and at trade shows.  Besides creating fun, whimsical hats, masks, and accessories; Wendy also creates large paper sculptures that move!  Wendy is a very creative individual who pushes materials to their limits and finds new twists.  She is also currently doing interesting work with appliqué and positive and negative shapes.  



Wendy performed on Thursday night for half an hour and then the children created their own hats, masks, and accessories using templates that Wendy brought or just creating their own pieces! 


The HS Art Club helped children and then created their own original pieces! It was a very fun night! Thank you Wendy!!!

Mandalas on Display at Jack's Caboose in Arkville


The Mandalas painted by the HS Painting class are finally on display at Jack's in Arkville.  They are hung in the back dining room. Be sure to check them out, they are beautiful! Each student has created such a unique mandala, which is very unlike traditional Tibetan mandalas in which there are many rules.  Overwhelmingly the painting class preferred their freedom of expression and enjoyed painting their own Mandalas. They will be hung until the first week of June.
