Some were created as independent pieces while others were part of an assignment,” says teacher and fellow artist, Andrew Edgar. By working with themes, the students develop an understanding that art can be used as a communication tool to express ideas and concepts that might otherwise have to be relayed through words. “Some pieces have been created to communicate ideas, alternate juxtapositions, social issues and personal expressions. By using structures like the elements and principles of art/design, we achieve a common practice and language giving students and the teacher a framework to create pieces that potentially communicate ideas,” adds Edgar. The opening reception for the show is March 31 at 7:30 p.m. All are welcome. The student exhibition is the first of a full line-up of monthly shows for 2023.
