MV Kibili Centerpiece
SF Kibili Centerpiece
Our art piece is called "Under the Sea" in reference to Ariel the little mermaid. The sand base was built and molded by the Schildkröten using air dry clay. They carefully formed different shapes to create a beautiful beach landscape. Meanwhile the Papageien collected tree branches to built the corals beautiful arms. Threading colorful beads onto the branches gave it the little extra, it didn't know, it needed. Many hands have worked on this project in great Team Work.
MV 5A Centerpiece
This centerpiece symbolizes the unity of the class. Each student designed a segment of the snake. Afterwards, the children assembled the segments based on color and structure. Finally, the snake was placed on the base in a natural pose.
MV 5B Centerpiece
The class was fascinated by Salvador DalÃ's "soft watches" and wanted to create a collaborative artwork inspired by them. Instead of watches, they crafted small creatures that rest peacefully on a tree or swim around it in the water below.
MV 6A Centerpiece
Each flower reflects the personality of a student. Together, they form a vibrant bouquet with both large and small flowers, each playing an important role in the overall composition.
SF 5C & 6C Centerpiece
This sculpture was inspired by the school logo, "The Golden Eagle," and represents freedom-just like our school. The eagle soars into the blue sky, symbolized by the arranged wooden rods. These rods feature quotes about art in different languages, such as "Art is Freedom." The colors gold and blue reflect our school logo, bringing the eagle to life. The various languages highlight the diversity and openness of our school.MUST ATTEND GALA on March 15th to bid

MV Grade-7 Centerpiece
SF 7C & 8C Centerpiece
This artwork symbolizes departure and change. The paper cranes represent transition and moving forward-fitting for Class 8c in SF, who will soon "fly away" into a new chapter.
The branch on which the birds sit resembles cherry branches, symbolizing transience and new beginnings. The pink base reinforces this symbolism, as it is associated with cherry blossoms-a sign of transformation and the beauty of the moment.MUST ATTEND GALA on March 15th to bid
MV 8A Centerpiece
Celebration
Class 8a has depicted a festival that brings together people from different cultures. Each person holds a balloon, symbolizing their connection and unity. The figures are made of aluminum foil and plaster, emphasizing both individuality and togetherness in this joyful scene.MUST ATTEND GALA on March 15th to bid
MV 8B Centerpiece
Unity and Trust
The painting represents the strong bond within the class. The acrobatic figures symbolize close collaboration and mutual trust.
Grade-9 Centerpiece
Each student created a butterfly using newspaper and tape. Now, they are all together (in/near a hand). Soon, they will take flight and follow their own paths.
Grade-10 Centerpiece
This abstract piece was created collaboratively by Class 10. Each student received exactly 10 toothpicks, with the number 10 symbolizing both unity and diversity within the class.
At first, individual mini-sculptures were formed, which were then paired together. These pairs grew into groups of four, until finally, the entire artwork came together as a collective class creation.
The blue base, representing freedom and vastness, reinforces the openness of the piece. It leaves space for personal interpretation-thoughts on it are free to roam.
Grade-11 Centerpiece
This artwork was created as part of a string art project by the 11th grade and was designed in groups of three. Each group was responsible for one ring before all the pieces were assembled into a collective sculpture.
The delicate threads connect the rings, forming an intricate geometric pattern. They symbolize the bond between the students, their collaboration, and the creative energy that emerges through teamwork.
