Student Annual Awards 2008 
 
This year, the Education Committee of LHR invited students to participate in our first Student Annual.  Our intent was for the students who came for a class tour to use LH as both resource and inspiration by crafting a response in a medium of their choice. With guidance from their teachers, students interpreted their visit in poetry, writing, design, photographs, crafts, painting and prose.  Students then submitted their work for consideration.

From hundreds of entries, 25 student winners were chosen and presented with awards at a  ceremony and reception held here on June 18th. Superintendents, principals, guests and press joined our recipients and their teachers in celebration of this special occasion. We were delighted by everyone’s enthusiastic response.

We thank all teachers, administrators, participating schools and especially the children for a job
well done! We hope that you enjoy their interpretation of this magical place.

A spear
Like sticks
They fly in the sky
when some body throws them
Like poles
When they stand up
some are short
some are tall
all are blue

Dragon Teeth
 
A dragon's teeth opening wide
About to eat all of the sparkling leaves
that fall down on
it's shining teeth
Fireing balls
Balls of fire
That have landed on the ground
into hardened gray cubes

Base hundred blocks
piled on top of each other
Creamy gray iceing on a
birthday cake
with gray ice cream
Rows of city buildings
Gray like an elephant
A gray
big fluffy cat
standing up to catch a mouse
Big long gray sticks
Butiful sculpture of gray rocks

This is huge!
This is the big bang!
This is the firewrok!
This is not a good place to get out of the rain!

I like your diamond chair
because it can do my home work
When I sit in it
I can hear birds singing
It makes me fell joy-ful.
Diamond shaped
beautiful king
Magical chair
soft and hard.
When I do my spelling test
it will help me.

In the circle of wonders I hear our echoes from far away...the rain is tapping on the grass making a rhythm.  The flowers are taking a bath.

Culture
by Kimberly Bermudez
We are the same
But different
People are the same
Black
White
Hispanic, We come together
And make we know as
Life
But some hate other
While others help
Culture is reality and that's what makes us special
We live in an earth of different
Food
People
And
Religions
But, we come together as one
Earth is love
So why can't we care and love each other the way we are-
The culture of our birth-

Our Environmental Design class at the Bridgehampton High School was given the task of designing a 1,200 sq. ft. home on the beach in Lazy Point, Amagansett.  Our first task was to find inspiration to guide our designs.  I had visited the LongHouse Reserve this past Fall and admired the works of Dale Chihuly, and various other sculptors.  I was particularly impressed by Chihuly's glass onions which floated amongst the lily pads and his vibrant cobalt blue glass spears in the dune gardens and immediately thought to incorporate these ideas into my design.  Another piece that inspired my work was the Fly's Eye Dome designed by Buckminster Fuller.  I had been researching pre-fabricated modern homes for inspiration and found that most of them were based on rectangular shapes and forms.  The Fly's Eye Dome was unique in its circular form and fluid design.  The design seemed ideal for a beach front location.

My design incorporates walls of sculpted glass which face the beach and are curved and rounded like Chihuly's oinions and Fuller's dome.  These curvatures guarantee that the beach can be admired from any angle inside the home.  The smooth construction lines and light blue tints of the design give the impression that the house is a vessel floating in the middle of the sea.

The LongHouse Reserve is inspirational in many ways.  For me, it has been a great source of ideas which can be used and adapted into a multitude of design fields, whether it is Landscape Design, Fashion Design or Architecture.
