H.L. Lubker Elementary School shows off talent in New Orleans Cultural Exhibit BALD KNOB - Students from H.L. Lubker Elementary School have recently learned what it means to celebrate creativity, New Orleans style. This past weekend, their efforts and creativity were honored and celebrated by Art Educators from around the nation.
Lisa Jones, the art teacher at H.L. Lubker Elementary School responded to a call for artwork from Artsonia - the online art museum where the school displays their artwork - asking teachers to instruct a lesson on the city of New Orleans and then submit their student artwork to a new exhibit titled; New Orleans: Feast for the Eyes. Topics could include everything from spicy Cajun food to the mystery of the voodoo beliefs. “We had a lot of fun coming up with unique ideas for the exhibit after learning about a city so rich in culture, history and the arts,” said Jones. The artwork was first unveiled in New Orleans at the National Art Education Association (NAEA) Convention. This year's “New Orleans: Feast for the Eyes” exhibit sets a new record, becoming the largest collection of student artwork dedicated to the City of New Orleans. More than 10,000 pieces are now on display, bringing to life all that makes up the New Orleans history, culture, architecture, traditions, celebrations and livelihood (www.artsonia.com/naea).
“As Art Educators, we are inspired on a daily basis by our own students' creativity. Viewing a collection of 10,000 pieces honoring a city so rich in arts and culture has been a refreshing and inspiring addition to our convention this year,” said Bonnie Rushlow, NAEA President. All of the artwork from H.L. Lubker Elementary School can be viewed online at www.artsonia.com/schools/lubker1.
