Art students at The First Academy spent that day out in the upper school courtyard to celebrate creativity and art with the 8th Annual Raku firing and 3rd Annual Street-painting Friday, Feb. 26.
For the entirety of the school day the school's advanced visual art students enjoyed a sunny day, with 2D students creating colorful chalk masterpieces on the sidewalk that featured animals, as well as a copy of Edvard Munch's "The Scream." Just a few feet away 3D-based students fired up the school's kiln — nicknamed "Exodus" — to fire ceramic pieces — mostly bowls and cups — in the ancient Japanese ceramic process called Raku Firing.
