Innovation Academy Charter School’s (IACS) “Want More?” exhibition of art, music, poetry, and other creative activities.
Opening reception is Wednesday night, June 2, 6-9 PM, at the Innovation Gallery, 22 Shattuck Street in downtown Lowell, Massachusetts.
The exhibition will feature a dynamic series of artworks created by 25 students from my “Discovering Identity: Painting, Printmaking, Photography, and Prose,”Art Class. Some of the artworks include: transformed antique organ pipes into ‘Me-sical instruments’ that explore the sound of identity; body image sculptural forms made from personal and recycled materials; puppets with surrealistic personalities; gestural paintings and drawings focusing on personal, social, and environmental issues; and self-portrait (Identity Maps) that integrate photography and green chemistry.
The Mission of the Innovation Academy Charter School is to provide students with a challenging, interdisciplinary education that will prepare them for the 21st century through an emphasis on holistic learning, higher order and critical thinking skills and practical application and integration of curriculum areas.
