Here is a sneak peek at what we've been up to with all that yarn! This collaborative artwork is the fantastic result of an idea that grew and grew. It started as our take on yarn bombing, then grew into a collaborative piece about Community. Almost 500 students have a piece of handiwork represented. The 5th grade students took ownership of piecing them all together and creatively assembled (sewed, weaved, tied or knitted) them all onto the frame built by our principal. Because of the major involvement by the 5th grade students, this project will serve as their art legacy, permanently installed here at Chase Street to inspire us for many years to come. The house shape represents us as members of a community who live, work and learn together. This has been a labor of love and creativity and has brought so many people together through art. I have truly loved this project.
