IN MARCH, members of Sagadahoc Preservation Inc. visited the Phippsburg Elementary School art room to teach fourth-graders about local architecture. Students learned the architectural details and styles of Italianate, Colonial, Federal, Greek Revival and Queen Anne homes found in Sagadahoc County. Part of the presentation was viewing models of homes created by SPI member Judy Mansfield. After the presentation, students used their new knowledge to create a clay relief of a house facade. Rather than choosing a particular style, students were asked to become the architect and design an original facade using at least two architectural features they learned. For that assignment, Michaela Burpee created this structure. The whole class’ work will be on display at the Phippsburg Art Show and Music concert on Thursday. The art show begins at 5:30 p.m., and the concert begins at 6 p.m. at the school.
