Our Crafts and Ceramics II students complete a portrait bust. This is a challenging project and involves patience, perseverance and attention to detail.
E-Learning
During this time of Covid-19, our art staff, students and families were met with an unexpected and difficult challenge: to transition to at-home learning without the benefit of materials sent home to facilitate projects. The weeks after spring break were uncertain. We all had to find a way to continue meaningful art content with materials on hand that varied widely home to home. We all faced the challenge and the kids grades K to 12 came through with fantastic work as usual! We are grateful for them and the support from their families! The following are a few examples of their work. Enjoy :)

Congratulations go to Symone Laws and Olivia Weymouth for winning the Fred Von Gruenigen Art Scholarship for 2020!
This annual scholarship is awarded from the Von Gruenigen family to honor a senior art student that shows great artistic ability and a serious nature about their studio work. This year, the judge determined these 2 young women to both demonstrate the qualities desired by the family and will split the $1,000.00 award. Congratulations to Symone and Olivia!
We are so disappointed to have had this annual exhibit canceled because of the pandemic. We will find a way to showcase the work we had prepared for the show.

Congratulations to Firebird art students are often called upon to volunteer their services for various school projects and Kettering organizations.
Our Craft and Sculpture students were asked by the city of Kettering to participate with the Public Art City Sites project. Beth Holyoke and Kaethi Seidl artists chosen for the Polen Farm Sculpture came to Fairmont for the day. They shared their vision for their tile project with the students and lead the students in making clay tiles for the community project. The tiles will be used with other tiles to create a “Big Egg” sculpture that will be installed in the newly renovated Polen Farm Park in the autumn of 2010.
Recently Alic Brock and Annelise Bodary completed a new Firebird Painting for the Main Office.
Bethany Schartzentruber, Chelsea Ewing and Kasey Garvey hand lettered and created signs for Sicsa’s “Strut Your Mutt Day” to be held at Delco Park in June.
Seniors Cassie Sant, Amena Shermadou and Emily Miller are face painting for their former elementary school’s Family Fun Event.
N2 Art Was Great
Thank you for Visiting!
See you again Next Year!
