ART GONE GREEN- A SUCCESS!

Displaying image (4).jpeg
After lots of careful preparation, planning and promotion (online and in person), our group was ready to spread awareness about our individual, family, school and community ecological footprint. The goal of our project was to make people think about the ways that we are treating our earth, and to promote green living, through paintings, photography, poetry, sculptures and other creative ideas. It was our hope that  these art  pieces would help students, staff and guests to develop a greater understanding and passion for our school and communities Ecological Footprint. We had so much fun collecting the art, and being able to witness interpretations of ecological footprint come to life,  in so many cool and creative ways!

On Friday December 12th, 2014, our group was proud to host Nottawasaga Pine’s first ecological art show; "Art Gone Green"!! We were pleased to welcome teachers, artists, classes, parents and members of the community to our school for our unique and exciting event! Our guests were extremely impressed with the beautiful pieces of artwork, which ultimately made the show so powerful and inspiring for those who attended. We made a quick speech, and shared some alarming and scary facts about the environment, and our CO2 emissions. We talked about ways to reduce our own ecological footprint, and the impact it could leave on our children, as well as future generations to come.  




We were truly impressed with how the event went, and we are very
thankful to everyone that came out to support Art Gone Green!! A huge shout out to Mr. Baker and his art classes for all of their help, individual artists and our teacher, Ms McLeod! Although the art show is over, and will sadly be taken down within the next few days, we hope that Art Gone Green has inspired staff, students and guests within our school community, to live a more green and eco friendly lifestyle!
