South Ridge High School Printmaking and Painting students create collages for 122 Conversations which will culminate in 2018 at the Tweed Museum of Art – University of Minnesota in Duluth, MN. The final display will include the contributions of exhibition visitors in the five sister cities. The participatory element is an important part of the project, for it enables citizens to “validate” Labovitz’s impressions of their community as represented in the exhibited paintings. Individuals are invited to their own images and paper in an act of sharing and create an image or message. The individual collages will be collected into a book for each community, forming a community art piece. These books, along with the traveling exhibition bags, will be archived at the Tweed Museum.

South Ridge art students are also participating. Create a visual representation of what peace in your community looks like. Using a 10″ square and materials provided create a work of art to be submitted to the 122 conversations exhibition. Collages will also be used to develop compositions for a self-portrait etching and painting in class.

Art students submitted illustrations for the annual national Jr. Duck Stamp Contest. The Federal Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program is an  art and science-based curriculum that teaches wetland and waterfowl conservation to students in kindergarten through high school. The program encourages students to explore their natural world, invites them to investigate biology and wildlife management principles and challenges them to express and share what they have learned with others.

South Ridge students have regularly done very well. Living in rural Minnesota students are well aware of the importance of protecting our wetlands. Knowledge of animal life, in particular ducks and birds, are more available, many of the students seeing ducks in their daily lives.

8th grade students shown here used colored pencils to demonstrate the characteristics of their chosen duck, the season and habitat the duck lives in.
