Artist Quote	“Creating ‘Picture Perfect Penguins’ provided a valuable learning experience for Liberty’s art students. After choosing styles in art history for their theme, the Art III classes researched a variety of famous artists and recognizable paintings to combine into one composition for their penguin. Pairs of students were responsible for each painting represented. They chose their favorite masterpieces such as Munch’s ‘The Scream’ and Wood’s ‘American Gothic,’ and ‘Mona Penguin,’ but were particularly excited to reinterpret the Butler’s own ‘Snap the Whip.’ Although each section was unique, the students were mindful of each other’s goals and worked toward a unified design. They are proud and honored to have had this opportunity to participate in such an exciting community project.”
