Concert begins at 6:00 pm in the UES Auditorium. Following the concert, please join us in the UES Cafeteria for a
STUDENT ART SHOW featuring...
Inside Me, Outside Me
Self Portraits
What do you look like on the inside? We learned about Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, who is very famous for her
self-portrait paintings. She was able to
show who she was on the inside, and what she saw in her heart and imagination,
as well as what she looked like on the outside.
Students were invited to paint what is important to them in the
backgrounds of their self-portraits.
They were challenged to draw their faces as they observed them in the
mirror, and along the way student-artists made some discoveries about their own
faces!
Memory Collage of My
Special Place
What makes a place special?
What does a memory look like? Romare Bearden is a collage artist who
created visual stories from his memories.
Just as most people can picture only certain details of past events,
Bearden assembled bits and pieces of fabric, photographs, maps, magazines and
newspapers to show his memories.
Students were each invited to create a collage that tells a story of an
important memory they always want to treasure.

Happy Places, Happy People
What do you do that makes you feel happy in your Where in the World Place?
We discovered the bright and simplistic dancing figures in artwork by Keith Haring. Students took turns posing in different
actions for the class and drawing quick gesture drawings! Students then each chose their favorite
sketch as inspiration for a colorful collage figure. We thought about how all people have
feelings, and people around the world can feel happy for many of the same reasons. Each student artistically lettered a word
that describes something they do that makes them feel happy in their special
place in the world. To learn more about
