What Lifts You? Collaborative Zentangle Feather Wings Inspired by Kelsey Montague
Street artist Kelsey Montague creates large interactive murals of wings for people to stand in front of and ponder the question "What lifts you?"
Montague writes,
As many of you know I started the What Lifts You campaign last year to provide people with the opportunity to share more about what inspires them in their life… I never expected the response I would receive. After just a week in NYC my first set of What Lifts You wings had a line down the street of people wanting to take a picture with the piece and post about what inspires them in their life. I realized that people love the opportunity to become a ‘living work of art’ by stepping into the wings and they love getting the chance to talk about what inspires them in their lives!

We created Zentangle Feathers to piece together to create a collaborative wing mural inspired by Montague's work.

Kandinsky Concentric Circles and Collaborative Murals
First and second graders are studying abstract artist Wassily Kandinsky. They are each creating a colorful concentric circle in the style of Kandinsky's most famous painting, Squares with Concentric Circles. They are also working collaboratively on murals in Kandinsky's style. Kandinsky has synesthesia, which means that when he heard music, he saw colors and heard music when he painted. As first and second graders worked on these murals, we listened to music and considered how different colors make us feel.

Helping Hands
In the days following the destruction of Hurricane Irene, we saw something beautiful happen within our community: Many folks lent a hand to neighbors and friends to help them clean up and get back in business after the flood. Students reflected on ways that they had helped their community recover and how they can "lend a hand" whenever it is needed. We used markers and colored pencils to create hands that express each student's individuality and creativity.
