East Chapel Hill High School

Melissa Vrooman, Ceramics Teacher

Students in the East Chapel Hill High School ceramics classes participated in an artist residency with Raku artist, Delores Farmer. They glazed their own work, then participated in a virtual field trip as Delores fired it at her studio.

This project was sponsored by the Public School Foundation.

Glenwood Elementary School

Lindsey Britt, Visual Arts Teacher

In 2019-2020, we began a mural project to highlight student voice in the the central offices building, as well as to bring color to the hallways.

This year, we are proud to introduce a new mural from Glenwood Elementary School into the Lincoln Center Mural Project. All K-5 students at Glenwood had the opportunity to participate. They created self portraits, and Ms. Britt collaged them together onto the display boards. The bricks are hand-painted, and signed by all of the students.

All CHCCS Elementary Schools

Delaney Susi, Teaching Artist

This project is still in process. The photo is a preliminary draft.

The Mobile Bus Mural Project is a project of the Office of Family & Community Engagement, led by Roslyn Moffitt. The mural project was coordinated by Brenda Whiteman, Arts Coordinator, with the assistance of all the elementary art teachers.

A small group of students representing each of the elementary schools participated in an artist residency with Delaney Susi. They created collage art, and their art will be combined together into three master murals. The murals will be transposed onto the sides and hood of the bus through a vehicle wrap process.

This project was sponsored by the Public School Foundation.
