Energy & Influence

 We are on the brink of an unprecedented school year. Never before have we had so much uncertainty and unknowns. Collectively we must step up and support our educators and school communities, leave judgement at the door and keep an open heart. Practice patience daily. We must also cheer for our students as they navigate this digital migration. 

Our students will mirror our attitudes, so put on a confident face and reassure them they can do this. I once heard someone ask, "How much of my influence on you is a result of your influence on me?"  Consider this as we start the school year. Energy is contagious, let's keep it positive. Let the teachers and students in your life know you support them!

On the road again...Baltimore

2016 OHS Art Students

The best way to usher in Spring, even if there is one last tease of snow, is to get out and experience new ideas! 

There was much inspiration to be found at the American Visionary Museum and the Baltimore Museum of Art in Charm City! It was a brisk day full of visual delicacies! 

Cosmic Egg

We toured the Visionary Art Museum exhibition celebrating it's 20 years: Big Hope! The exhibition focuses on Hope and Community. These are ideas we have been looking at all year as an Art Department in our classes!
The students also participated in a workshop. They looked at the work of  Gregory Warmack, Mr. Imagination,  and his amazing portraits created from everyday upcycled objects. 

We also toured the Baltimore Museum of Art. Their featured exhibition was Imagining Home.  We explored a variety of perceptions of home and belonging. 

 There were a plethora of meaningful conversations and observations!
