The School Buzz: Colorado Springs middle school launches massive Meow Wolf inspired art project
Josh Helmuth
Students in Colorado Springs District 11 are taking a page straight out of Meow Wolf’s playbook.
North Middle School students are taking learning to a whole new level with an immersive art experience called “unconscious mind.” The installation is entirely student-created. It’s the result of a year-long collaboration between advanced drama and advanced design students who handled everything from the story concept to building the set.
D-11 says the installation aims to blend theater, visual art, and design into an interactive journey through the human mind. The project was inspired by a field trip to Meow Wolf in Denver. And now the annual installation has become a signature project for North Middle School, which has been doing this art project for the past four years.
Teachers say the experience helped students build real-world skills like collaboration and creative problem solving, all while giving them a chance to express ideas through art.
