The Virtues Project

The Virtues Project focuses on characteristics that will make students successful in school, relationships and life. In the first quarter, the virtues of focus were Respect, Responsibility, Caring and Moderation. Each of these students were nominated by teacher, staff or fellow students for portraying those virtues. Money and prizes have been donated by the community to reward students for their good character.

Absarokee High School students are learning the process of painting a mural. The focus is on public art for the community to enjoy and as a community service project. The artwork theme is based on outdoor recreation. In this case, a fly fishing and rafting scene with brown trout rising to a summer evening caddis hatch. “I designed the artwork and act as ‘art director’,” said Absarokee art teacher Mr. Mullen. Students paint most of the design and Mullen shows them his gridded pattern design that is transferred onto the wall with oil pastels. The students use the shapes that Mullen has drawn as the color boundaries.
