pure HEART SPACES transforming

After four years of not being able to host the traditional bi-annual art walk, many experienced it for the first time on Dec. 2.

For seniors, it was the first time they were able to participate and work on their installations throughout their art classes.

“I had never experienced the art walk before, and I was excited to create our installation and also experience all the different ones that the other art classes created,” senior Elisa Regueros said The art department decided to pursue a collaborative installation and have students of all art classes bring in transformed shoes. Students from each art class transformed a pair of shoes and displayed them around the Atrium the morning of the art walk.

“We chose to make the collaborative installation of displaying transformed shoes because of how it relates to the whole idea of the art walk which connects with the idea of walking around different places and experiencing art,” Visual Arts Department Chair Stacy Goldman said. The concept of the art walk was a more contemporary idea, involving a lot of conceptual thinking from each student. Collaboration was necessary in order for the event to succeed.

“I think that art walk is very special, because all art students collaborate and work together to create a unique and artistic installation,” art teacher Maribel Toledo sad.
