The artwork was chosen by visual arts department teachers and will be displayed in the Lyndon House on Oct. 9 through Jan. 14, 2023, with the theme “RE-.” “The theme was “RE-” prefix words. I did (the word) reborn, so I did like the lifecycle of a luna moth,” Paluck Teeter said. “It turns into a caterpillar and then a moth, so it’s (about) how it’s reborn in a way where it’s a different thing, but it’s still the same, it’s just a different form.” Photos courtesy of Heather Garland.
Art from students at CCHS will be featured in the Lyndon House starting Oct. 9 through Jan. 14, 2023.
The four visual arts department teachers selected six students from each visual art class to have their artwork displayed at the Lyndon House from Oct. 9 through Jan. 14, 2023.
Students were asked to create artwork under the theme of the prefix “RE-,” highlights words with different suffixes such as “reborn” or “re-imagine.”
“At the Lyndon house, we have a biennial show (that’s) always themed. All the art teachers together and the district decide on the theme so this year, it was an “re” theme,” visuals arts department teacher Heather Garland said. “So (students) chose their word and they had to think of imagery that reminds them of that word.”
Students in the Ceramics I class, taught by Garland, created clay bowls using a slot mold, a style of clay modeling that involves forming clay around a circular object to create a bowl shape, to be featured in the exhibit. Garland believes it is important for the bowls to showcase the progress that students have made.
“It’s really important to show the community and stakeholders that this class is going well (and that) these are things that are happening and how important it is to have students involved with it.”

“This is the first (ceramics) class here. We just started the program, so it’s really important to show the community and stakeholders that this class is going well (and that) these are things that are happening and how important it is to have students involved with it,” Garland said.
Junior and Ceramics I student Luna Paluck Teeter is excited to have her bowl displayed and is proud of the work that she and her classmates completed this year.
“I’m excited for people to see it. My moms are really excited for it, my family’s gonna come see it. I’m just excited (about) having my art up and people seeing it,” Paluck Teeter said. “I worked hard on it and other people from my class (tried) hard on their ceramics.”
