Advanced Art Students "Jam"


As Memphis Street scholars are wrapping up their school year, students in the Advanced Art program remain hard at work. They can be seen here working on a collaborative "Jam" drawing inspired by words from the school's pledge.

Two sets of our Advanced Artists brainstormed in their individual sketchbooks, then brought these drawings to the table to see how they would work together in the jam. Students mapped out small scale collaborative images, then projected and duplicated the images onto sheets of 4' x 3' paper. The finishing touches will be drawn into the jams over the coming week, so they can be displayed at the Memphis Street Academy Expressive Arts Fair on the evening of Wednesday, June 11.

It has been an honor to watch students combine their individual creative spirit to make such a meaningful, powerful, and cooperative piece of art.
