To Step Out, To Lead
To Step Out, To Lead
As the capstone to their spring semester, our eighth graders take on the Αρχω( ARCO) competition— named for the Greek word meaning“ to begin something from something, to step out, to lead.” It’ s a fitting title for a challenge that asks each boy to look back at what he’ s learned and use it to create something entirely new, entirely his own.
This year, Tyler W.,’ 26 was named winner for his homage to Kara Walker. Honorable mentions included: Hank M.’ 26( Homage to Cindy Sherman), Lucas C.’ 26( Homage to Chuck Close), Luca J.’ 26( Homage to Barbara Hepworth), and James C.’ 26( Homage to Brian Clarke). Their pieces represented a variety of diverse media, including textile( crochet), stained glass, photography, painting, and abstract sculpture.
