Student Art: Color Wheels

Rotary Club Teaming up with the LHS ART Room

Rotary Club of Liberty's "Ring in Rotary's 90th with a Liberty Bell" Campaign is in full swing! In case you haven't heard here is what's happening...

"The Liberty Rotary Club will be 90 years old in 2015 and we want to celebrate with two very good causes in mind: Polio Plus and the Liberty Bell Tower.

     Our Polio Plus Committee is co-chaired by Rotarians Bill Brackin and Skeet Raggio. They came up with the idea to paint the town with Liberty Bells, concrete Liberty Bells that is.

     The Rotary Club of Liberty is selling replica Liberty Bells, designed out of concrete, each weighing 300 pounds (and standing about 3' high) to decorate Liberty. The bell will be delivered to your home or business and can be decorated by you or you can hire the LHS Art Department to decorate it for you, for a $50 additional fee. The bell itself costs $300. Half the proceeds go to the Liberty Bell Tower reconstruction fund. Order yours now. Deliveries begin Feb. 2015." 

For information on how to order yours, please contact the Rotary Club of Liberty at 832.477.7314

What is an Art Bike?

An art bike is a bike that is altered or at the very least added on to in an effort to create a kinetic sculpture. It's art and engineering coming together! It's putting the Arts in S.T.E.A.M! The only limits here is the designer's imagination!

Beginning this semester (Spr. 2015) and thanks to a grant from the LISD Education Foundation, Liberty High School now has it's own Art Bike Club as part of it's MegaLunch offerings for students. This offering is for both A and B Lunches on Monday and Tuesdays in the Art Room (124) and will meet after school on Mondays and Tuesdays as students are available to work on building components that need more time. Students can participate whether they have an idea or would just like to help with one.

For those completed before April, these kinetic sculptures will participate in the Houston Art Car Parade! So mark your calendars to come and support the LHS Art Bike Club because..."On April 11, 2015, nearly 300 jaw-dropping cars, bikes, skater and motorized creatures will roll down Allen Parkway, from Waugh Drive to Bagby and blow the minds of 300,000 spectators!" Check out http://www.thehoustonartcarparade.com/ for more information.

But the fun won't stop there... even after April, the Art Bike Club will continue to create new marvels and will be out and about so stay tuned for more exciting news!
