The library is delighted to announce the opening of Newton South High School’s first show in our Young Adult Art Gallery located on the second floor. For the first time in the gallery’s short history ceramics will be displayed in the cases adjacent to the gallery wall. A Snapshot of Newton South Arts will be on view from spring through early fall 2011 and includes a variety of media. A lively opening reception with food provided by Whole Foods Market took place on Saturday, April 2 at 3:00 pm in the Trustees’ Room and included a gallery tour.
At any given moment during the academic year, Newton South visual arts students are developing their creativity and building artistic skills in a variety of media. Student work is collected in college-bound portfolios, displayed around the school, at the Newton Education Center and entered into the Boston Globe Scholastic Art Awards. This year Newton South art students received more Gold and Silver Key awards than any public or private school in Newton and the surrounding area.
While much of Newton South’s award winning work is displayed in other locations, the Young Adult Gallery exhibition is an accurate reflection of the quality and breadth of work produced by South students. The pieces were selected from students’ work in the following classes:
•Ceramics Teachers: Cindy Goldberg, Karen Sobin-Jonash
•Digital Art Teacher: Carol Ober
•Painting and Drawing Teacher: Megan Leary-Crist
•Photography Teacher: Robert Bouchal
The library wishes to extend its gratitude to Eric Blomster of abraxis framing co. in Newton, who generously donated his time, and provided the frames and mats cost-free, and to members of the Newton Camera Club who hung the show.
