"THE BIG PICTURE!" Final Projects... WOW!
The first semester's high school comprehensive drama class ended with a WOW! Shown in the picture above is Cadence Littlefield's costume project for the character, Ariana, pirate captain of the ship, Sirens Revenge. She started with thrift store purchases, used some things she already had, added makeup, drove to the beach, and ended with a final photoshoot. So creative! *Other projects included: Gollum voice-over (Brenick A.), "Robin Hood" rewrite (Ava B.), hair, makeup, and costume for Mary Poppins (Raina C.), a Percy Jackson menu with blue waffles (Brooklyn H.), an original song "Rocket Raccoon" (Galen H.), Iron Man's heart (Elyssa K.), a "Winnie the Pooh" menu featuring all things honey (Jenna M.), a 3D mask (Andrew P.), Captain America's shield (Billy R.), a monologue by Gatsby's Nick (Carlos S-D.), hair, make-up, and costume for Princess Callista (Emily Stewart), and a fabulous duet tap dance from La La Land (Jersi Vermillion). Well done, students!
