Julian Art Installations

Outside the main entrance of the school you will notice brightly colored yarn work attached to a tree. Members of the Fiber Arts Club knitted and crocheted the pieces and last year several of us completed the project by attaching it to the tree outside Dr. Sharts office. It is a small accompaniment to the Knit Knot Down the Block project done on South Oak Park Avenue a couple years ago. You can see that project by going to this link. http://craftnectar.com/2009/03/27/trees-in-the-hood


If you are in the Arts Wing, (D wing 3rd floor), you will see a 7th grade Year Long Rotation class Art Installation. Many boxes of fabric were donated by the Curry family. Students stuffed the fabric with packing peanuts using rubber bands and then sewed the little pouches to a large black piece of cloth. The little packets are arranged from warm to cool colors and suggest a growing organism... something found in nature.

The installation hanging in the main four story spine of the school was created by 6th grade students in 2005-06 with the help of visiting artist and parent, Margot McMahon. Each piece was designed and created by students to suggest one of the seven intelligences or ways that people learn. You can read more about it on the wall outside the auditorium on the first floor.
