Art + Science Bioluminescence in NC
Funded Nov 29, 2022Students at LME have been fully immersed in the world of bioluminescence. Our 4th and 5th grade students created paper mache sculptures and painted them with our fluorescent paints, our 2nd and 3rd grade students created large 12x18" collaged habitats of bioluminescent creatures, and finally our kindergarten and 1st grade students created glowing watercolor paintings- one underwater and one a nighttime forest scene! The "ooooo"s and "ahhhh"s that have been filling the art room lately have been music to my ears! When the students first saw the materials they were so excited. They have been steadily using the materials for the last few weeks and are really leveling up- they are fluorescent watercolor masters!
The next step in completing our projects is adding finishing touches on our artworks and staging them in the room set aside for our Bioluminescence Art Show. I have previewed the Art Show for some students with 1/3 of our total artworks staged and the students have been animated with gasps and even cheers! Our bioluminescence art projects have been one of the most successful projects I have ever accomplished with such an age variety. Thank you again for making this possible for myself and our students!”
