Mayfest Piano

by Julie Jankowski, HS Art Teacher

Bixby High School art students wanted to create a piano design that illustrated "Old School Justice League/DC" characters With the stresses of school and social issues within our culture today, students wanted to design something fun and laid back to take their mind off of everyday life. The saying by Batman, "You are stronger than you think. Trust Me" is something our students need to hear from time-to-time

The top was designed by several Bixby HS students by printing off colored comic scenes from the 1970's and mod-podging them onto the piano We diluted paint to create the soft layer on top of the comics and then added the logos of each super hero within the Justice League. The top was finished with a layer of epoxy to help protect it from the weather Senior and AP Studio Art Student Carlos Escobedo drew and painted most of the designs onto the piano sides and back He stayed late many days to finish his vision that you see today. I am very proud of all of his hard work on this piano in addition to the many students who stepped up to make this happen. I am proud to be their teacher and a Bixby Spartan!
