STUDENTS CREATE AN AERIAL ART GALLERY ON 10,000 SQUARE FOOT “CANVAS” TO DEDICATE NEW BUILDING FOUNDATION
On October 21st, nearly 350 students dedicated Foundations Academy’s freshly poured foundation by recreating five huge masterpieces on it with artist’s chalk. All reproductions, ranging from 20’ x 15’ to 20’ x 30’, were created in under three hours for a time-lapse video. Paintings include: Mona Lisa (Leonardo da Vinci), George Washington (unfinished - Stuart), American Gothic (Wood), A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (Seurat), and Starry Night (van Gogh). Each student in grades k-12 was involved and most drew a two-foot square section of their painting with special artist’s chalk.
