"Take Five"


Artist: Jan Smolik

The music theme for this crane was a choice from several themes that came out of a ‘brainstorming’ session.  As an Art Teacher, Jan Smolik really feels that the ability to brainstorm is an important skill that ought to be learned.  As a music aficionado, jazz instruments were among her first ideas for images on the crane. To visualize music was the challenge.  “Once I started working, I saw the incorporation of metallic colors and the importance of an urban setting for jazz,” she said.  She comments, “Students who watched the crane develop were largely concerned that I wouldn't meet the deadline.”
