Lost Art Pieces

During the process of working on projects for the 2014 Windows of Youth Project, several Loyola Sacred Heart High School students saw their projects meet with untimely demises.  While heartbroken, these students have regretfully moved on and are looking forward to participating next year.  Here is a description of their work, in memorium:

Whitney Bowditch took a vintage glass jug and etched "Gone Fishing" onto one side, with images of a silhouetted fisherman on the other side.  She placed the bottle outside to dry and two hours later it had disappeared.

Bobby Hardy etched text and images from V for Vendetta onto a small piece of framed glass, and painted a black and red abstract background to sit behind the glass.  He sadly placed his glass on the Art 1 work shelf, and as an Art 1 student pulled out his folder, the glass fell and shattered on the floor. 

Finally, Takeshi Yamamoto painstakingly cut a city skyline stencil onto a lantern globe, spending at least four hours on his intricate stencil work.  When the acit was applied, it revealed not his skyline, but the word pyrex, teaching us that pyrex surfaces, as well as being heat resistant, are resistant to acid.

We mourn the loss of these projects and will remember them fondly.  We also want to thank these students for their hard work and dedication to this project.
