Featuring paintings, ceramics, photographs and more, the Winter Art Show celebrated the creativity of students at Byram Hills High School and H.C. Crittenden Middle School.
The show was held at Byram Hills High School on Jan. 13 and 14. Administrators, teachers, staff members, students and families turned out for a community reception to view the exhibition on Jan. 13.
“The show was fantastic,” said Pete Pauliks, the District’s Director of Fine Arts. “The space was beautifully transformed into an art gallery. The space was filled with a great variety of really interesting artwork. When you see all the different mediums our students are working in, it’s exciting.”
The art teachers attended the reception, and greeted student artists and their families to discuss the art on display. Some pieces featured sophisticated artist statements while others represented a technique learned in class.
“The show was a great way to celebrate the students’ achievements and to interact with students and the art,” Mr. Pauliks said. “It was magical and it made everyone feel good to be there viewing the collection.”
“With such a great turnout from the community, it shows that the school community rallies around the accomplishments of our kids in the art rooms,” he added, “and that was great to see.”
