This year marks the 24th year for the Spring for the Arts Festival, an annual showcasing of artworks by Scituate public school students. Kindergarteners to high school seniors all had pieces presented to the public – and watching those students excitedly haul their loved ones to their own special spot on the wall is just as wonderful as the art itself.
Not only were the hallways and the gym filled with art, but out on the front lawn of the high school various choral groups and bands performed all afternoon long. Anyone who doubts that our arts and music teachers are hardworking and dedicated individuals has clearly never attended the likes of the Spring for the Arts. They enrich our children’s lives and give them experiences beyond what a standardized test could ever hope to capture or measure.
These masks were made by sixth graders at the Wampatuck School; I loved the way these strange, delightful faces seemed to be peering out of the lockers at the crowds.
Ain’t Art grand?
