Art IV students worked hard last semester to complete these awesome projects. Each one is informed by a different artist that the student studied. For a more in depth look, visit the student’s individual blog – the links can be found on the homepage. Enjoy the variety!
This year’s Youth Art Show was a once again a great success! As usual, I procrastinated until the last minute and stressed myself out a lot more than necessary. . .why, oh why, do I do that? But, it came together. It’s in the Fly Arts Center (a renovated turn-of-the-century factory)Â every year for a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon, and our numbers have grown steadily from a couple of hundred to over 1,500 this year. Every art teacher in our county brings student art to display; students, families, friends, faculties, etc. are invited.
I only wish every single educator and administrator in our dear system could see the raw talent we are blessed with. AND, I only wish we’d had our van Gogh-inspired paintings finished in time for the show. Oh, well — here’s some pics of the show along with students of mine I coerced into taking a photo with their artwork :). Hope you enjoy, and comments welcome!!
This lovely drawing was created by Art II Drawing student Hannah Calvert. She entered it into Tennessee Magazine’s story illustration contest, and was awarded 1st place! Congrats, Hannah!
