Title: Joy

Collaborative collage created by students of Lewis Fox, Derby and Glastonbury Middle Schools, in partnership
with Hartford Stage: 'Words Alive in the Middle' Interdistrict Grant
Media: Paper, pastel, ink, pencil: Teaching Artist: Dana Pomfret

Students from three different schools (in urban/suburban/rural districts) chose the word 'joy' as the unifying theme for their group collage, then collaborated to create a piece of visual art which represented shared and differing feelings and perceptions inspired by that word.
