Seward High Art students created new scenes out of old photos.  For inspiration, students viewed the Abberant Art of Barry Kite.  Kite is a contemporary artists who mainly reworks art history classics by cutting them up and combining them in humorous ways.  Students also viewed triptych artwork from the past and were asked to make their collages in triptych form.  Thanks to the Seward Library for donating encyclopedias and magazines.
