Hickory artist Sigrid Hice was in residency at Parkway school last week as part of the Mountain Arts Program. Hice worked with third and fourth grade students who created their own artist books, making covers out of paste paper and filling the books with their own illustrations and creative writing. The third graders’ theme was insects, and fourth graders concentrated on their favorite secret places. Mountain Arts Program residencies are sponsored by the Watauga Arts Council.
