What Lifts You is a community art project, made by international street artist, Kelsey Montague. She became known for her giant winged mural on the side of a building in New York City. She made this art piece for people to interact with and be inspired by. As a kid Kelsey Montague liked drawing patterns. She fills the wings of her What Lifts You art pieces with patterns using places or things that are very common to people. Things like pizza, buildings, or Christmas decorations. Kelsey Montague likes using social media to spread the message of the What Lifts You pieces. People take their pictures in front of the wings and use the hashtag “whatliftsyou.” – Amat, Grade 7.
We were inspired by Kelsey Montague’s art and decided to make our own wings at BAIS. Students from all grades drew feathers for the wings. Every student created at least one feather using line, shape, color, and pattern. The 7th and 8th grade class arranged the feathers with patterned paper to create the wings. Now they’re at the back gate so everyone can take their picture in front of them! – Jason, Grade 7.
