Trinity Christian Academy Sculpture Students Transform Trash Into Interactive Art

Recently, some local high school students transformed pieces of computer junk into high-tech art. This semester, Trinity Christian Academy's (TCA) sculpture students constructed unusual sculptures using discarded computer parts to be displayed at the entrance to the school's Technology Department.

The pieces were designed to highlight the students' creativity and clearly reflect TCA's integration of the latest technology with a classical education.

Art teachers Anita Horton and Adria Warner challenged their students to gather inspiration from the Russian-born artist, Louise Nevelson, who was known for incorporating obscure objects from the streets of New York City into her work.

From boxes of old and discarded computer parts, the sculpture students created mixed-media pieces of their own. After the sculptures were completed, they were featured in a scavenger hunt utilizing QR code technology. Younger students from the middle and lower school concurrently competed and admired the interactive art on display.
