Cool Jobs

On Tuesday, February 23, 7th grade students had the opportunity to go to an Arts related job fair called “Cool Jobs” put on by Fresh Artists. Students heard from a furniture designer who uses unconventional materials, a mural artist, an architect, and a culinary artist. It was so interesting to hear all the stories and we are so grateful to have been included in the fair. I hope some of my students feel inspired to pursue a career in the arts! And maybe next time we will get to see the shoe designer, photographer, print maker, and all the other exciting art jobs!!

Here is a list poem the students collaborated on with our guide, Rebecca:

Three Musicians – How are there 4 People?
violin
cold soulless eyes
a music book
a mask
instruments
patterns
audition
3 people
different shapes
a band
black
it looks like they love music
a desk
hat and glasses
all different colors
blue
stained glass
in the hallway
flute
performance
forest green
I see the light while they’re playing
Tiki guy
saxophone
a bright smile

This group of students will have work on display at the PMA in January, as they are part of the Delphi Art Partners.

In addition to that, I went to Fresh Artists today and was pleased to see one of our students art on permanent display in their outdoor space. πŸ™‚ The art to the right is Nebinger work! πŸ™‚

Roy’s work, pictured above is also on display at the Comcast Building on Market Street. His classmate Robert also has a piece in that show! These kids get better art cred than me!
