Hall High Visual Arts Students Create Ornaments for Governor's Mansion

 

First Lady and Governor Asa Hutchinson asked high schools across the state to create ornaments for one of seventeen (17) Christmas trees representing countries that have direct foreign investments in Arkansas as part of their Peace on Earth theme for the Governor’s Holiday Open House recently. Hall High Visual Arts students chose to research and create ornaments that were reflective of Colombia’s culture. The student ornaments included burlap coffee bags, glazed and fired pottery, watercolor paper lanterns and folded paper with handmade tassels. Hall High was the only participating school from the Little Rock area, and was honored with a citation from Governor Hutchinson for the students’ vision and leadership.
