Being happy is a very important aspect in life. Ms. Biere’s second hour Art Fundamentals class made birds to spread some happiness around the school.

The idea of making the birds was based off of a famous painter Bob Ross and in the video that the students watched he said, “Painting happy trees for our little world.” This is where the class took that saying from and made it into their own. Their motto for the project was “Making happy birds for our little school.”

The birds are supposed supposed to represent happiness, but some students incorporated both happiness and the personality of themselves into the birds too.

“I let the students choose what kind of bird they wanted to make,” Ms. Biere said. “I find it interesting the choices that were made and I feel, in some way, the birds do represent the students.”

Freshman Thomas Wiggins in second hour Art Fundamentals was one of the students that made the happy birds. He made a raven and he felt like the bird did resemble some of his qualities, like personality.

The project wasn’t only fun for the students, but Ms. Biere as well.

“I loved this project. There was an upbeat mood in my class each day we worked on our birds,” Biere said. “The students really made me proud by taking on the project with such a positive attitude. There is always room to spread some happiness in our school, and I love that my students were willing to take on the project with pride.”

The happy birds are hung up around the school to show off the students hard work and to spread some happiness around the school.

Each bird has a smiling face on them with, bright colors, and feathers. When looking at them, all that comes across people’s faces are smiles.
