This is the 18th in the series spotlighting a pig from the Big Pig Gig Public Art Project taking place in downtown Cincinnati, Covington and Newport.
Artist: Students at Kilgour School, Mount Lookout; Darlene Nored, teacher. Design by Melissa Scovanner, fifth grade.
Sponsor: Kilgour PTA.
This pig's pen: TBA.
You were inspired by: “Cincinnati. We have pictures of Cincinnati scenes all over it; Union Terminal, Music Hall, Krohn Conservatory, the skyline ... ”
You want people to look at this pig and think: The Queen City.
Completing the project took: Four weeks.
Swine over matter: Acrylic.
Your high on the hog was: “Just watching the children work. They were so excited,” Ms. Nored says.
Pig peeve: “The sanding was tough, but our kindergarten and first grade students did the sanding, and they're tough kids,” Ms. Nored says.
Best pig tale: “The other students kept asking me which parts I did,” Ms. Nored says, “but it was all done by the children except for the eyes, which are shaped like the "C' in the Cincinnati Reds. I just wanted to have something on the pig that I painted.”
