According

to Stambaugh, students created their own

interpretations of "emotions in clay"

after studying Haring's works. They discovered

the beauty of Haring's simple lines and shapes to

express emotion.

"Clay

is a kinesthetic medium that allows the students'

emotions to emerge," Stambaugh added.

The

emotional figures symbolize the diversity among

all children through their art.

Kedron

student Jacklyn Simpson said everyone should come

and see the exhibit, which will remain on display

through February 2001 in the front hallway of the

school.

"The

sculptures make you feel the emotions of others.

The figures make you sad and happy when you think

about other people having all those

feelings," Simpson said. "I'm glad Mrs.

`S' let us make our own sculpture. My classmates'

creations were really good. I made mine happy

because I like being happy the best."

Student

sculptor Jack Kane explained, "I called mine

depression because I've seen other people feel

like that."

"I

called mine OUCH!" said Cameron Echardt.

Norm

Brooks added, "I chose contemplation because

it reminds me of the wise men."
