Westlake Art Project Revealed At Museum April 8

WESTLAKE, OH - From Westlake City School District: Ten Westlake High School AP Art History and International Baccalaureate Theory of Knowledge students who participated in the Cleveland Museum of Art Museum Ambassadors program this school year are revealing their culminating project and invite the public in for a peak.

The Museum Ambassadors program provides a behind-the-scenes experience at the world-class institution. The program is open to only six schools in Northeast Ohio. This is WHS’ sixth year in the program.

On April 8, this year’s Museum Ambassadors will host a Family and Community Day on April 8 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Cleveland Museum of Art where each group will offer a fun activity for families based on the museum’s collection.

WHS’ theme is Ancient Egypt – “Art” Like an Egyptian. Come “art” like an Egyptian and become a court artist to the ancient pharaohs. Stand in a tomb just like the ones from thousands of years ago, or create a mask like the ancient royalty.

The other schools in the program will also have hands-on activities available for patrons. The event is free and open to the public.

Museum Ambassador students are selected by Social Studies teacher Beth Noren through an application process. This year’s participants were Kat Bowe, Leah Bunner, Hena Delic, Alex Falcone, Jackie Moracz, Abbey Moutoux, Lily Powers, Bridget Quinn, Isabelle Southern and Adam Yusoff.

Other schools involved in the program include Bedford High School, Cleveland School of the Arts, Shaker Heights High School, John Hay High School and MC2STEM High School.
