Atlanta High School’s Art IV show is on display at the high school through Thursday, May 15. The works are those of students in 11th and 12th grade. Students take art as an elective through four years.
Some seven AHS art students involved in the art program entered some 15 works each in this show, said art teacher Gina Utley. She herself is in her 33rd year as art teacher.
The art show is open through Thursday during school hours for the public to see.
In a special showing, Trinity Hart, a student who has had almost five years of art, is having a special showing of her work in the school’s library. Hart received the AHS Art Purchase Award as well.
The art show is open through Thursday during school hours.
Atlanta High art teacher Gina Utley is standing by one of her class assignments that shows the import of art. The chart above is a collaborative, not an individual’s work of art.
The assignment here is given to the first student to show in pencil a visual narrative of their top three social concerns. Then, this composition is passed to a second student who continues the drawing by working on the middle item in the drawing.
Next, the composition is passed to a third student who completes the last section of the social concern.
Finally, it returned to the original artist for touch ups and completion of the visual narrative of their social concern. The artist then asks the viewer to take time to see what is concerning to today’s youth.
