Out-of-Door Academy students spent the morning exploring a variety of art techniques for the Arts Extravaganza at the Lower School campus. Art teacher for the Lower School, Jessica Dunda coordinated the activities for students. 

"They're all collaborative projects to promote school-wide synergy for students," Dunda said. 

Students took turns with oil pastels on a mural, making bead bracelets, painting cardboard sculptures and weaving on looms.
