上周, a bright spectrum of colorful clothing brought unity to a crowd of unfamiliar faces that coalesced at an experiential art event conceptualized by artist Elizabeth Turk. “Look Up” was designed to bring together different generations of community members and honor their connectedness to one another and their environments. The focal point was a series of vibrant umbrellas designed by the artist and adorned with resilient plant species including the ginko, 罂粟, 和紫锥菊, along with fireweed and lodgepole pine.
整个学年, we see many great examples of cross-disciplinary work on display in the halls of Schoolhouse. Last Friday, during Morning Meeting, 美术 Department Chair 朱莉 费雪 and 阀杆 teacher Dr. Meghen Tuttle highlighted the beautiful results of collaboration between two academic areas — fine arts and science — when they announced the winners of this year’s Science Photography Contest.
Monday, April 22, marked the first day of an immersive, week-long 美术 takeover. It all started with a burst of visual arts beaming throughout Schoolhouse. Exhibits first popped up in the basement, enticing voters to select their favorite amongst a competitive collection of Science Photography Contest entries, including a new bonus category “Design” that aligns with our 2023-2024 theme. 在主楼层, exhibits ranged from photography, 陶瓷, 画, 和绘画, with Senior Solo Shows featuring bodies of work by the Class of 2024.
Joseph’s “coat of many colors” wasn’t the only thing that dazzled the audience in FoxHound Auditorium last weekend. Capping off a wonderful 艺术s Week, the performances of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat on Friday and Saturday evening showcased the incredible talent of the cast and crew, with great collaboration between students, 教师, 还有一个教职员的孩子, 太! The sing-song storytelling of Ava B. ‘24’s 旁白 and the cast’s songs from each scene captivated the audience in place of any formal dialogue — singing throughout the entire show is quite an accomplishment! The Foxcroft community was humming and singing along during the performances and throughout the following week, as the show’s success was talked about well after the final bow.
