43 WORKS PUBLISHED BY KM STUDENTS IN ART OF WRITING ANTHOLOGY!!! The anthology, which includes original stories, drawings, sculptures, and photographs, is a collection of work created as part of the Art of Writing: Young Authors and Artists Conference held this past December. More than 400 students from across Wisconsin participated in the conference, which is co-sponsored by the Kettle Moraine School District and the Milwaukee Art Museum. Inspired by the museum’s masterpieces, students produced reflective and imaginative responses that demonstrate the powerful intersection of visual and literary arts. The resulting anthology celebrates student voices and visions from all corners of Wisconsin.
“We’re incredibly proud of our students and their exceptional creativity,” said teacher Terry Kaldhusdal, who coordinates the conference with his wife, Janet. “This program not only highlights their talents, but also fosters a deep appreciation for art and storytelling.” One excerpt is from Kettle Moraine 7th grader Bryn M., who wrote, “After all, dreams are like trees. They branch off from your soul, growing deep roots that stay with you forever…” The Art of Writing conference and publication are a longstanding tradition that celebrates young creators and highlights the powerful connection between education and the arts. We've featured Malenna’s artwork and Lacy’s photo, but the complete publication and list of published works is available at http://artofwritingconference.com.
Congratulations to the Class of 2025!
