Artwork from two Field School students has been selected for national recognition by Crayola through its “Art Energizes STEAM” 2017-18 art exhibition.
The art was created in teacher Julie Voigt’s art club, where students were inspired by Crayola idea starters inviting them to connect their art with science, technology, engineering and math. All projects were completely student-led and included a written component.
The two students and their awards are:
- Fourth grader Evangeline Feucht’s artwork, "Precious Metal Rocket," was selected to be professionally framed and added to the curated, permanent collection of student artwork on display at the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, D.C. and the Department's regional offices. Evangeline described her art piece as a rocket, "which is powered by precious metals. Only two existed in the whole universe considering what it is powered by. It can hold up to 50,000 pounds and it is 12 feet tall. It can accommodate five humans. This is the perfect way to travel through space! If you're willing to pay $5,000!"
- Fifth grader Kinnison Ward's artwork, “Galaxy,” was selected to be included in Crayola education resources. Kinnison described her "Galaxy" as a highly automated transporting device for space. "This high flying vehicle can go up to 1,000,000 miles per hour. Meet Galaxy, a vehicle that is highly automated and is meant to take things to space and back. Galaxy is fueled on rare sloth spit. This fuel can be found only in Central and South America. For protection, Galaxy has wings that shoot fire, can block asteroids, and other dangerous things coming in its way. When Galaxy is transporting things, she stores the supplies and/or materials in her trunk. As for people, they can sit in the custom made chairs inside the car. These chairs can be adjusted to fit your personal liking."
