A Day Dedicated to the Arts

Another highly successful Fine Arts Day is in the books. On Thursday, November 2, local guest artists, actors, dancers, singers, and other performers were on campus to present workshops to students in Grades 1 through 12. Grades 7-12 started the day listening to keynote speaker Brock Seals, a local artist and actor. Younger students participated in fun and interactive sessions, including Just Dance Live and Act It Out, to name just two, and were treated to a circus performance. Middle and Upper School students could choose from 24 sessions that included everything from Latin and tap dance to a song-writing clinic to making Japanese braided bracelets and learning other jewelry-making techniques to a calligraphy tutorial to stage management and acting tactics.

 

At the end of the day, all students were treated to a “Trashion Show” in Marion Gym. Grades 1 through 12 students worked hard on their Barbie-themed creations over the past several weeks, using only recycled materials to bring their looks to life. It was quite an impressive show!
