Origami Invasion - Art Elective
Origami Invasion
By 2018 Art Elective
Description
Public Art made a simple piece of paper into something beautiful and symbolic. We came up with this idea by collaborating together and combining ideas.
The origami resembles creation. This piece of artwork represents overall diversity by uniting the different colors and kinds of animals.
This also connects to the LGBTQ+ community with the assorted rainbow and the separate colors symbolize the different races/ethnicities in this community. We believe making art that applies to everyone is truly expressing belief and solidarity. This art installation is meant to support all members of this community.
Oscar Frayne, Kyra Yip, Addy Hawley, Assata Wright, Emma Brady, Justin McCarthy-Hill, Sophia Mainero, Gianna Calandra, Kimaya One-Routier, Julia Calgaro, Lennox Obrovnik, Xavian Acosta, Jasmyn Nagy, Norah Neilson.

Did you know our 8th graders extract DNA from strawberries in science?The main purpose of our DNA extraction lab was to help students bring their abstract knowledge pertaining to the structure and function of DNA to life. Prior to this investigation, our 8th grade scientists had learned about the double-helix structure of DNA, the function of the various components that make up this complex molecule and how DNA is used during protein synthesis and other life processes. Two common misconceptions many students harbor pertaining to DNA is that it is absent from many of the foods they consume on a daily basis and that when extracted, it will look like the twisted ladder they had seen in their textbooks.
In order to help students deconstruct these misconceptions, we extracted the DNA from a strawberry using everyday household materials (dish soap, salt water, and rubbing alcohol). Strawberries are ideal for this experiment because their cells are octoploid compared to human body cells, which are diploid – strawberries have 8 copies of their chromosomes in each cell, which makes it possible to see the DNA without the use of a microscope.
During the lab, students were blown away by the appearance of the DNA – white, sticky fibers that could be removed from the test tube using a stirring rod.
