Those Seniors Are Creative

I make my Wordless Wednesday post late and share more Herkimer High School Seniors’ parking lot art. Full disclosure: it isn’t really a wordless Wednesday, because obviously there are some words. However, since it is more about the pictures, I make bold to label it so.

Nice incorporation of technology.

I think this one is clever. I just imagine they will neither pause nor rewind. I never wanted to do so when I was a senior. Oh dear, as soon as I typed that I remembered something: I AM a senior: a senior citizen.

Nice.

I like the water effect. I suppose Arriana is on the swim team.

This one is simpler.

A more straightforward space, no? But I like it. As I said in my first post about this, these seniors are expressing their personalities.

I see I am not up to 200 words, my usual goal for myself. So I guess this is not a Wordless Wednesday but a Less Words Wednesday. That could be a new category for Mohawk Valley Girl. Any thoughts? Oh dear, as I went to add Categories and Tags, I realized: it should not be Less Words but Fewer Words, which makes it not a play on words of Wordless Wednesday. That’s no good! What’s a silly blogger to do?

However, adding that bit of dithering got me over 200 words. Phew!

I thought I would share a few more pictures or the Herkimer High School Seniors’ parking spaces. For one reason, I think it’s awesome!

Cheer Captain, pretty impressive.

They could not have done this in my high school, Rome Free Academy in 1981 (yes, QUITE a long time ago). We had too many seniors and too few parking spaces. I am constantly enchanted by the small town vibe I get around here.

Very nice.

I feel a little bad that I think this looks like a neck tie when I cannot see the whole thing.

I love the little hand prints.

I am quite interested in the different styles of the different spaces. If I had a contact at the high school I would talk to the seniors and hear their personal stories about why these pictures are meaningful to them. I daresay some of them are more meaningful than others. Perhaps some of the seniors just painted what occurred to them at the moment. But that is the delightful thing about art. It means different things to different people. Some people take every opportunity to express themselves in a meaningful fashion. Others just make a picture, pretty or fun or otherwise. I feel all are legitimate as art.

Then again, what do I know?
