Last week we
undertook a community project!
The Farmingville
Elementary School Art Room/Studio was contacted by the Ridgefield Parking
Authority who was/is working in conjunction with the Ridgefield Chamber of
Commerce. This Holiday season to make sure that people know that they can park
all day if they want in town in spaces whose time limit is great than 2 hours
they are covering up the signs. The bags/coverings are going to cover the
sign posts to help eliminate confusion. We were asked if we would be willing to
add a little flair to the coverings.
Every single student of Farmingville Elementary School in attendance last week grades K-5 was able to
participate. A winter theme was decided on- snowflakes of course! We used printmaking
techniques to complete the task. Students hand block printed each snowflake
one at a time on more than 50 coverings. Supplies were provided by an
anonymous donor who heard about the project.
Please keep an eye
open in town and know that each snowflake had one of our very own Farmingville
students hand print it!

| Mrs. Penney created the blocks for the art students to use. They were inked for every print and carefully placed one at a time. |
 |
| When lifted, they revealed the print. No two prints are ever alike, just like our subject matter...snowflakes. |

| In Progress! |
