Thanks to designer Kate Hixon, parent in the Class of 2012, the American Chemistry Council, Chlorine Chemistry Division, commissioned artwork from Great Barrington Waldorf High School students to print on its holiday cards for 2010.
Aneli Poland, Class of 2013, and Alee Danyluk, Naomi Pitman, and Nicholas Sagarin, Class of 2014, worked under the guidance of Waldorf art teacher Elizabeth Lombardi and then had their work chosen and reproduced on the cards.
In exchange for the rights to use the students’ work, the American Chemistry Council donated $1000 to the Waldorf High School. This money will be used to support art programs at the school.
According to the Chemistry Council, “This work was part of a larger student art project, where the students worked from supplied imagery to honor and increase awareness for the efforts of the Chlorine Chemistry Division of the American Chemistry Council and the Chlorine Chemistry Foundation to provide clean water to areas in need, such as West Africa, and, more recently, Pakistan.”
