Beautification of the quadrangle?
Yes!
The half of an old yellow Volkswagen placed on the inside wall of the quadrangle is part of an art project to liven up the looks of the school.
The Volkswagen is Ron Ricci's project.
He is also making a model man which will appear to be working on the car.
In addition a brick wall will be constructed somewhere near the car to give it a garage effect.
This form of art is known as an "assem blage".
An assemblage is a composition using many different materials.
There are also going to be other interestinf displays of art.
One unusual composition when completed, will be a large hot dog.
It will be made out of Paris Craft.
The idea of the hot dog, which
Mark Jacobucci is constructing, came from a Claes Oldenburg creation of a "floorburger".
Oldenburg created this giant hamburger, which is six feet in diameter, three feet tall, and has a pickle on top, for a pop art movement in the ; early UtfO's.
The hot dog will be displayed in the quadrangle.
Omej^^displays which are being made are: al large black box with hands pointing in all directions designed by
Sue Kelleber and
Linda Carroll; a girl in a seat, looking very lifelike, done by
Teri Chase and
Beth Wannie, and a half figure girl, from waist up, by
Karen Dunne.
