RealSchool Art Exhibit

One of the first RealSchool events of the year was created by The Arts team and was an exhibit in the style of Maurizio Cattelan's Guggenheim retrospective:


During Chanukah week 2011, Frisch's freshmen completed an art project with art teacher Mrs. Ahuva Mantell. Freshmen took clothing and refashioned it to create statements about how they view themselves. They then added poetry they wrote that also reflected a positive self-image. Given the fact that the Greeks focused too much on physical beauty, the aim of the project was to show how this focus still plagues society and that students need to empower themselves to fight cultural messages about what constitutes ideal physical beauty. The RealSchool arts team wanted to share the freshman project with the rest of the school.


"The RealSchool exhibit aimed to show Frisch students how to interpret art in a way that high school kids can connect and interact with, explained junior Sheer Singer, a member of The Arts team.


Sheer Singer, Laura Friedman, Rebecca Zakheim and Eliana Pickholz hung the original clothing and poems in the lobby of the school building. They also placed mannequins around the school with the freshmen's fashions, and across the Beit Midrash placed a mirror to encourage students to look inside themselves and see a beautiful, worthwhile person. --  Jordana Fremed, RealSchool: Journalism
