A Little Magic ...

Fairyhouse2016.jpgAfter the art show this May, the Core 1 class collectively decided to create a fairy house as their final project in Art. This was inspired by the artwork of Andy Goldsworthy, who mostly does installations outdoors with natural materials. The students were excited to use what they could find in the natural world to create beautiful art. Jeannie, our art teacher, provided the perfect stump as a base for the house. After one look at the stump, it was easy for the students to see its potential. After some initial brainstorming and sketches, students began to stockpile things they found interesting - acorns, moss, bark, and even morel mushrooms.

The final product, in addition to the actual “house," includes a stone pathway (complete with gourd mailbox at the beginning) that leads to a slate patio reading “RPS 2016 Core 1 Art Class.” The fairy house is located in the center of the memorial garden, the first garden seen on the left after you enter the property gates. Come visit us and find a little magic!
