Voyager House has new signage!!
Artist Statement
Stand
tall and proud Voyager! J I love trees.
Their strength, beauty, and connection to nature really inspires
me. I hope this new sign will in turn
inspire you in all that you do. Your new
sign was created on stretched canvas panels using acrylic paint and gel
mediums. To me, the four birch trees in
the main sign symbolize your four core teachers. The group of trees are intertwined to
symbolize how learning is a collaborative process. The fingerprints are yours. Just like fingerprints are unique to each
person, YOU are what makes Voyager
unique. The colors in the landscape
symbolize to me the wonderful, colorful journey that WCS is preparing you for.
Voyager’s
mission statement is, “one step in a world of discovery”. My hope for you is that your future be filled
with
a rainbow of experiences.
Each
teacher’s classroom also has a framed landscape outside his/her space. To me, this brings a sense of place to your
house. Any visitor will immediately know
where to go.
Many
many thanks to John Lentine for the countless hours it took to hand make the six
frames that complete this project. Jeff Boomhower and John spent many hours over the school break hanging the six frames
in anticipation of your return to school.
I also appreciate the energy and enthusiasm of Ms.Q and Ms. Wesnak who spearheaded this project back in
August. If they had not ripped down your
old felt sign, given me their permission, encouragement, and enthusiasm, this
project would never have come to fruition.
XO, Mrs.
Baker
