The Masterworks program is a lower school service project to benefit the arts at Columbus Academy. It is made possible by lower school art teacher and W. Boulton Dixon Master Chair in Art & Art Appreciation Lloyd Cicetti, who joined CA in 1991. Ever since, Academy lower-schoolers have benefited from his gifted approach to teaching art and the amazing way that he incorporates art history into the curriculum.
Each year, Lloyd -- who is often called Mr. C by his students -- selects a master artist to inspire each grade. He then designs an age-appropriate project to highlight that artist's creative signature. Every student completes a work of art based upon his or her interpretation. The students then donate their art to a collage that forms a "Masterwork" for their respective class. In all, 26 Masterworks have been created and are being raffled for some lucky families to win. The creativity of the students is so impressive! We cannot wait for you to see their work in person. You will find it on exhibit in the lower school entrance as well as in the lobby of our Schoedinger Theatre.
Please note that there will be one raffle for every class. The winners will be announced on May 31 and may claim their Masterwork on June 1 following the Lower School Closing Ceremony.
You may also purchase notecards and posters of the class Masterworks and/or of your student's individual art. Any notecards and/or posters that you order will be available for pickup at the Lower School Ice Cream Social in August.
