On March 28 fifth graders from Alberton School traveled to the Mineral Community Hospital for an art reception. For the last few years, art students have had their work displayed on a wall in the lobby to brighten things up for staff, residents and visitors.
They made pressed flower arrangements to accompany their paintings in the spirit of spring, said Alberton Art Teacher, Jo Nasvik. Their paintings used tints and shades to demonstrate Aerial Perspectives, “which is how we see spacial depth,” explained Nasvik.
The students also got to snack on special treats prepared by the hospital kitchen staff. “Showing students artwork at the hospital is a great opportunity for the students and really brightens up the space,” she said.
