The Fine Art of Coathanger Sculptures!

Kaden Bohn and Christina Noskowski performed in Fisher Middle School's production of "You're A Good Man Charlie Brown" yesterday.

Some of the show monologues by the Peanuts characters are classic! Charlie Brown's little sister, Sally, goes on a diatribe after getting a lousy grade. It's awesome! Sally's rant is below:

"A 'C'? A 'C'? I got a 'C' on my coathanger sculpture? How could anyone get a 'C' in coathanger sculpture?

May I ask a question? Was I judged on the piece of sculpture itself? Is so, is it not true that time alone can judge a work of art?

Or was I judged on my talent? Is so, is it fair that I be judged on a part of my life over which I have no control? If I was judged on my effort, then I was judged unfairly, for I tried as hard as I could!

Was I judged on what I had learned about this project? Is so, then were not you, my teacher also being judged on your ability to transmit your knowledge to me? Are you willing to share my 'C'?

Perhaps I was being judged on the quality of the coathanger itself out of which my creation was made...now is this not also unfair! Am I to be judged by the quality of coathangers that are used by the drycleaning establishment that returns our garments? Is that not the responsibility of my parents? Should they not share my 'C'?"
