During the months February and March, all "Bacich Bears"(TK-4th grade) will be working on a school wide art project titled "The Bacich Box Show.” Students will have the opportunity to alter a tissue box into an exquisite piece of art. I have assigned a contemporary artist to each grade level, (please see below). I will guide the students to use a tissue box as a building block to create sculptures based on the assigned artist's work.
Artist Theme and Concept:
4th grade: Henry Moore, wire coat hanger and nylon stocking, semi-abstract sculpture
3rd grade: Louise Nevelson, wood assemblage shadow box
2nd grade: Peruvian Folk Art, Arpillera box
1st grade: Nava Lubelski, recycled, rolled paper shadow box
TK and K: Laurel Burch, whimsical cat box
Thank you to everyone who helped collect empty tissue boxes for this exciting project. It was a community effort to collect 704 boxes, one for every Bacich student!
