City Museum Visit

               

On November 29, 2007, eighty-five Trinity Catholic High School art students attended a field trip to the City Museum, located in downtown St. Louis.  Students explored the Enchanted Caves, a concrete, ten story labyrinth that spirals, twists, and turns through corridors and various sized openings.  Many also scaled the Monstrocity, a four story interactive sculpture, constructed of steel and wooden bridges leading to two Saber 40 aircraft fuselages.  We also visited the 13,500 square foot aquarium that holds more than 10,000 creatures, large and small.  Several students had their pictures taken in an original black and white photo booth and created original artwork in Art City.  Students watched professional artists demonstrate their craft in Art City, a facility that features an ever-changing array of artists, painters, potters, and sculptors at work.  Our last stop was the Glass Studio where artists demonstrate turning molten glass into unique sculptural forms using a variety of techniques including glass blowing, hot glass san-casting, etching, cutting, blasting and polishing.  We left with a new appreciation of art and its applications to every day life.

Mural

The Trinity Art Department is proud to present our fantastic new mural, created by students from Mr. Kevin Cook's painting class and muralist William Burton Jr. from Craft Alliance, with a grant from Emerson.  Mr. Burton worked with Mr. Cook and his painting students in creating a mural depicting the diversity of our student body and the visual expressions of the Art Department.  Please view the images below, and follow us step-by-step, as we design and paint a professional art mural, located in Aquinas Hall.  Mr. Cook would like to thank Mr. Burton and each and every student who took part in this project.  Congratulations everyone; your hard work has paid off!
