Art Salon 2026 - Polka dots, pumpkins, and Infinity Mirror Rooms? Now, that’s an inspiring combo!
Kicking off this year’s “Art Salon 2026” is Yayoi Kusama, the world-renowned “Queen of Polka Dots” whose journey took her from Nagano, Japan, to the pinnacle of the global art world. Transforming her neuro-hallucinations into a unique artistic language, she has captivated the world with her iconic dots, pumpkins, and mesmerizing Infinity Mirror Rooms.
This time, our entire school community joined hands to bring a massive art installation—standing over 2 meters tall—to life! Through this collaborative journey, students did not just connect deeply with Kusama’s artistic soul; they also embraced teamwork, inclusion, and acceptance, breaking away from the typical solitude of artistic creation.
As a grand finale, the project integrated with “Deep Learning Week” to launch an exciting cross-disciplinary, cross-grade exploration. While visual arts teachers passed on traditional crafts like woodworking, paper-crafting, papier-mâché, and coloring, science teachers stepped in to demystify tensegrity structures, composite materials, and the laws of light reflection. A magical journey of “Infinity Mirror Rooms”—where aesthetics perfectly meets science—starts right here!
