Threads of Connection: “100 Languages” in the Art Studio
How do we express what we know, feel, and imagine? In the Art Studio at Bennett, our students embody the “100 Languages” — using traditional art mediums, loose parts, and personal storytelling to communicate in new ways. Inspired by the work of Judith Scott, our 1st and 2nd graders transformed yarn into deeply personal sculptures, embedding notes of encouragement and hidden messages within their creations. Through this process, they discovered that art isn’t just something we make—it’s a way to find meaning and connect with ourselves and the world around us.
