About
the Design
When Sparky arrived at the school in late January, she was
quiet and plain, a dinosaur you'd never even notice, simply
a "giant marshmallow" in the words of Dr. Janet Simon, executive
director for the school. But then art teacher Carol Kreiser
and her students got their hands on Sparky—quite literally.
"It was such a fun project," says Kreiser. "It was wo nderful
to be part of such a large community project and even more
exciting to know that it's going to be out there for everyone
to see."
Her students
thrive on tactile projects such as these and enjoyed sponging
their school colors—teal and purple—onto Sparky's
rough surface. Each classroom, 27 in all, made a stencil of
one of their classmates' hands, and then that stencil was
used by a representative from each class as a guide to paint
golden handprints onto Sparky's belly and back.
Faculty members pressed their handprints on, too, as well
as representatives from Buchanan Ingersoll,
the law firm that sponsored Sparky's makeover by the school.
