This year my 7th grade class will donate a hand painted piece of furniture to the Jubilee's silent auction. First, I brought in an antique wooden cafe chair from my great Aunt's home. I wanted the students to take something unique and give it a new life. I am blessed to have a group of very talented artists with lots of personality. Knowing that, we found Keith Haring's quirky artwork to be fitting and inspirational for this piece. Haring's use of bold lines, bright colors and active figures would encourage creativity and allow the students to give the chair a funky edge. Each student created their own design and will work together to assemble the composition. Below, Jason Frankhouser and Michael McMahan sketch out figures they will incorporate with our overall design...

Michael McMahan unites Haring-like figures to
paint along the back of the chair. |

The Jubilee is held March 24th at the Manship Theater in the Shaw Center for the Arts. Keep up with what's going on to see the finished chair!
