Students Workshop with Visiting Niblack Artist

4/29/2021

After visiting artist Rachel Means ’08 finished her community presentation, she hosted a mixed media workshop with a few art students. Each student created a piece inspired by a written work or a poem. One student even used Means’ presentation as inspiration. The results are beautiful.

After Rachel's talk, she hosted a workshop . . .
. . . inspiring our girls to make their own mixed media pieces.
Chelsie E. ’22 – Inspired by the poem “From Blossoms” by Li-young Lee
Leyla A. ’23 – "This piece represents how human beings grow in an environment of toxicity. The flower represents a human being or a group of humans they keep getting more beautiful as they grow. The whole point of nature was very inspired by Rachel Means and her use of plants that symbolize various things."
Lillian W. ’22 –Inspired by the poem "The Rider" by Naomi Shihab Nye written in 1952
Berkley M. ’23
