This quarter the 7th & 8th grade Art Elective is Digital Storytelling.
We began with creating personal stories, now we are working collaboritively on an environmental based documentary. We have the wonderful opportunity to work with the
Cape Fear Environmental Film Festival, hosted by UNCW.
We have chosen the topic of "water". Being a coastal community, this is a topic that is very relevant to our students - great place-based learning!
We are now in the process of brainstorming people to interview, questions to ask, and footage to shoot. Students are storyboarding the sequence of events for our film.
Today we enjoyed a presentation by Bonnie Monteleone. She shared her research of plastics found in the ocean and brought with her a 5 panel art installation depicting the items she found.
After her presentation, a group interviewed Bonnie about her research and what we can do to hep.
Stay tuned for updates on this project!
