MARION — Sippican Elementary School students participated in an “Arts in Action” show Wednesday, April 10.

The show featured approximately 800 pieces of art created by students in kindergarten through sixth grade. Works created by sixth grade students included wheel-thrown ceramics, watercolor paintings and wire sculptures.

Younger students at the event engaged in painting, weaving, creating sculptures and more.

“[Arts in Action is] the perfect way to showcase the many talents of our students from art, to music, and everything in between," art teacher Katie Kirk said in a press release.

In the cafeteria, students performed live music, showcasing jazz bands and the concert choir as well as solo artists.

“We get to celebrate artistic talents that we often don't get to see including dance, karate, karaoke singing and more,” band director Hannah Moore said in the release.

Wrapping up the event was a visit from local illustrator Ralph Masiello, who hosted instructional drawing sessions, creating more than 100 drawings.
