Peace for Paterson Project at NRC is a Work of Art!

The Paterson Peace project at NRC has become an all encompassing work of art.  Throughout the school building, origami paper cranes are hanging in a variety of inspiring and delightful art installations. 
Ms. Mandal, 3D art teacher, and her students have been busy writing, folding and installing these paper cranes for the past month and a half.  First students write something about the theme of "peace" on the origami paper.  Next the birds are created simply by folding.  No scissors or glue or tape is necessary. 

Finally they are strung up together or placed on branches throughout the NRC building. In other locations they are resting on window ledges.  Some of the paper cranes included in this project come from Ms. Marilyn Simon's class, high school art teacher at SOIT.  

 

 

In addition Mr. Baldwin, technology teacher at NRC, made the cranes using the 3D printers in his classroom with his students.

This project was inspired by the Book: Sadoko and the Thousand Cranes
