The middle school art program, under the instruction of Mrs. Susan Wessel, studied the work of Mark Jenkins, who is an installation artist from Washington D.C. Students created sculptural pieces resembling Jenkin’s work. Artists used packaging tape to construct the life size sculptures. They planned their sculpture’s location and purpose throughout the campus including the buddy bench, school library, common areas, and school garden. The Palm Pointe artists’ objective was to make their fellow students stop, look and think about the art they see. It is so exciting to see the impact the sculptures are having around campus. Artists definitely met their objective.
