Bruce Munro art inspires project at Adair County Schools Campus

Joint collaborative project is asking help through donations of 24 oz. spaghetti sauce jars and 6 oz. baby jars - with labels removed and washed - to create a work of art. Students in Environmental Sciene, Advanced Art, and Energy Academy are working together and are very excited about the creation

News from the Adair County School District

Sheila Willis (Environmental Science) in collaboration with Heather Spoon (Energy Academy) , and Debra Wimmer (Advanced Art) have created a cross subject unit that incorporates components from each of their areas of expertise. Students from all three classes are excited and can't wait for the actual project to start on the first day of March.



This unique group of students will be creating a work of art that will be displayed in the Adair County High School PRIDE Arboretum in May 2014. The art will be in the medium of LIGHT so it will be viewed at night. The inspiration for the project came from art work created by Bruce Munro . Personally, I predict people will be coming from all over the state to see what these children and teachers have created. But they need the communities help. The major component in the project is recycling.

HOW CAN YOU HELP? - the kids need these items from you:
- 24 oz glass spaghetti sauce jars and/or 6 oz baby food jars with the labels removed and jars washed (please).
These items can be dropped off at either the ACHS Main office, 526 Indian Drive, Columbia, KY, 7:45am-3pmCT, or Jeffries Lighting Gallery, 704 Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY, during store hours.

Collection will continue until the last day of February.

You might be asking -- how many do they need?

The answer is -- as many as you can bring. The more the students have to work with the larger the end product. And not only will you be helping to create something beautiful that will allow our children to "shine". You will be keeping a few more items out of the land field.

In closing I will just say the Claiborne household will be eating more spaghetti until the end of the month to try and do our part. If you would like to see some of Bruce Munro's work and the inspiration for the project (so you can have a hint of what is coming) go to http://www.brucemunro.co.uk. Our students will be creating their own take on his idea. It should truly be a sight to see. Mrs. Willis, Mrs. Spoon, and Mrs. Wimmer would like to say thank you to everyone in advance for their help with this project. So get to eating! Spaghetti that is... to help make Adair County a little "brighter".
