Special Education Summer Experience
Beehive Sculpture

400 students worked on a one-of-a-kind display of public art this summer for Columbus City Schools. Called the Beehive Sculpture, special education students and students with complex needs designed and painted mini hexagonal, honeycomb-shaped wooden pieces that eventually will become an 8' foot sculpture.​

Once completed, the sculpture will be known as the Beehive.

The art project is a partnership with the District’s Special Education Department and the Super Art League in Columbus, a group of artists whose mission is to integrate visual art with performance art to empower youth through curiosity, creativity, and compassion. “The sculpture supports the Summer Experience Program objectives of friendship, teamwork, and community,” said Heidi Madsen of the Super Art League. “The sweetness is in the learning.” ​

What's Your Super? 6-week classroom program

Through structured play, What’s Your Super? integrates visual art with performance art to build super personas. At the end of the course, we will showcase a 45-minute performance of the stories we co-create over 6 weeks. Each story is a celebration of what makes each of us super. We believe that celebrating what makes each of us super is a way to see and treat others as a super extension of ourselves.

Course Goals: Your super is something unique about yourself that you are proud of. The goals of the course are to build your super persona and share it with your community by:

  • Designing a super logo (with cape), super mask and super sidekick puppet.

  • Embodying your super persona through puppetry and improv.

  • Storytelling based on the themes of Teamwork, Friendship and Community.
