Art Night

Last night our school hosted a art exhibition. This was a chance for all of the students that are involved in the various arts programs to display and show off their work and talent. This was the first time that this had ever been done at our school. The art teachers were very excited yet still nervous that things would not go as planned or that people would not show up. To show our support, we made it a goal to make sure that we attended (we actually even left our work bags in our offices to make us go back later in the evening).

We were absolutlety blown away when we walked back through the main doors of our school later that night. The entire first floor of the school had been transformed into a full blown art gallery. Hundreds of pieces of student art work were arranged throughout the building. There were also a variety of poetry readings, singing groups, music combos, and drama productions. We even got transported back to the Folk Life Festival for a quick second with the drum circle that was going on.

The talent and dedication that was on display was amazing. It is always fun to see the talents that students possess that maybe you don't get to see on a everyday basis in the classroom.

We were welcomed to the exhibition by one of Adam's students playing piano. This guy is legit.

For weeks there had been an announcement that the art department needed used coffee cups. This is the final product of that project.

This was cool. One of the art teachers was painting another one of the art teachers while she painted a big art piece.

One of our favorite pieces from the elementary school.

A whole stage was set up for student music groups to perform. It was a very cool experience for both the students and everyone that attended.
