2013 Artist In Residence - Marina Lee

Milwaukee artist, Marina Lee worked with our students in March, 2013, to complete an all-school artist in residence project, which was installed in the front lobby of our school. The tree and imaginative creature wall relief ideas were generated from our student's drawings. The relief shapes were cut out of ply wood, prepped with spray insulation and carved to give the reliefs some form. Students applied a paper mache pulp to the reliefs, followed by a variety of embellishments such as beads, glitter, stones, buttons, gems, shells, sticks, and clay pieces made from press molds. The large drawings were created on a vinyl fabric material, using a variety of sharpie markers. The backgrounds were colored using fabric dyes.
