Nightmare Before Christmas Character Design and Live Performance Art!

Posted on by

In the spirit of Spirit Week, four AP Studio Art students took on the challenge of painting a character from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas movie, onto a BHS student model of their choice. Each student artist was given a Tyvek suit for the challenge on the Monday prior to paint on. Face paint was used on their face and hands. On Friday, October 28th the students were on display in the cafeteria for all lunch waves and everyone had the opportunity to vote on Character Design and Performance Art. (The inspiration for this came from here.)

Also, Mr. LaPlante was able to create a video of the event.

The students involved were:
*Gabriel Dombrowski painting Jack Goodwin as “The Mayor”.
*Annalise Gormley painting Xander DeVoe as “The Scientist”.
*Noah Neault painting Jacob Neault as “Jack Skellington”.
*Donny Roski painting Emma Roski as “Sally”.

Congratulations to Hannah Schulz who was the first to be chosen to participate in a community bridging endeavor between Berlin High School and Scraptivity.  Her concept sketch was chosen to be painted on the large front windows of the store.  Scraptivity is a local reuse/repurpose art supply store on 1020 Farmington Avenue, Berlin.  To be a contestant, please turn in concept sketches to Mrs. Miller (Room 1701). Every month, all concept sketches will be turned in to the shop owner and she will decide whose work will be featured next.  Along with the opportunity to have your work on the main strip in Berlin, you will also receive a twisted board dry erase board, (examples in 1701) and your photo taken for the newspaper.  What a great opportunity and resume builder!  Congratulations to Hannah and good luck to the rest of you:)
