Annual Fine Arts Extravaganza draws crowds
T
he talented artists, sculptors, photographers, designers, printmakers, and musicians shined under the spotlight of BC’s annual Fine Arts Extravaganza. Glass cabinets in the front hall were decorated with artwork created by students this school year. Throughout the day, students had the opportunity to tour the building and to appreciate the displays. Interactive works of art were also be available for the communal creation of artwork. For example, the Fine Arts Extravaganza celebrations included orchestral performances by a small ensemble in classrooms, a word-art poetry making station, and most significantly, a school-wide mural on the building’s bricks. For the first time, BC administration not only permitted students to draw on the building’s walls, but they encouraged the act. Each hour, new
students chose a new color of chalk and made their mark on the building to commemorate the day. Another mural was created as students from various art classes drew doodles that were combined to create a full scene. Alena Huang (‘18), a current student in Drawing 3 and Art Seminar, spent the entire day working on a mural that will soon be displayed on the first floor. “My favorite part about the mural was seeing people, who aren’t in art classes or say they aren’t artistic, really get into painting the mural,” Huang remarked. Jack Magnus (‘18) and Samaaya Jayamaha (‘18) were some of the masterminds behind the mural. “Although Samaaya and I drew the mural, it was based off of many of the art kids’ desings. This way, the mural is a little part of all of us,” Magnus commented.

Students were invited to make their mark on BC by choosing a brick to color. “By the end of the day, it was amazing that the entire school could come together to make a great piece of artwork,” said William Pan (‘18).
