FULLER HEADS TO MASS ART
CAROLINE DICICCO
Seven works of art created by Fuller Middle School students were selected by a juried
panel for exhibition at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. The exhibition, with
a theme of social change, held its opening reception on Thursday February 2nd. Students
created artwork on issues such as bullying, racism and health. The evening consisted of
artwork from a variety of artists, styles and media, including age, as the Fuller Middle
School students selected to show are in the 8th grade. Several adults- Mass Art alumni,
local artists and a professor at the College, commented that the high school works were
quite intriguing (they are middle school). Bids were made on the artwork. During the
Open Mic session, four Fuller students shared their talent in poetry and song. The students
beamed with pride!
They chose a current issue to create about. Some students chose the environment - while other students chose to make it more about their personal
identity. Some students created art that is anti-bullying and anti-racism.
This is often quite difficult, especially in this age group. I am not simply proud of them for working hard, engaging and persisting -- but I am also
proud of them for expressing themselves, which is often much more difficult than the simple methods and processes of creating art. What you see could
potentially "tug at your heart-strings".
During class, we talk at length about the importance of art to culture and society. In fact, many artists create simply for the purpose of awareness and
social change. We study murals across the world, including The Great Wall of Los Angeles created by Judy Baca and many students the same age as
the students at Fuller.
