It is hard to believe we are closing in on the end of our school year! I am very excited by the excellent artwork that all my classes have produced to date. As we settle into the last 9 weeks my classes will continue to work not only on the fundamentals of the art process, but also take part in a variety of new techniques and projects.
With the onset of spring I always look forward to our annual art show and the county wide Gallery 1 art competition. The spring arts festival for Arcadia is scheduled for Sunday, May 20th. As in years past, the cafeteria will be setup with student artwork and family and students may begin to view the work at 3:00. The Gallery 1 show is a prestigious completion that features the best artwork from around the county and the Findlay area. I am permitted to enter 2 pieces of artwork from each grade level 8-12. This is typically a tough process for me because I can only choose a select few to participate.
I am including in this article images of some of the excellent artwork I have received to date. As always, I encourage parents and students to stop and take a minute to enjoy the student artwork on display in the cases both outside the superintendent’s office and across from the high school art room.
