Emerging Masters, Huron Valley Schools Elementary Art Exhibit at HVCA


— One night simply was not enough to open the Huron Valley Council for the Arts
and Huron Valley Schools Elementary Art Department’s joint exhibit, Emerging
Masters.

The
exhibit features the work of student artists who hail from Highland,
Spring Mills, Brooks, Kurtz, Country Oaks, Lakewood, Johnson, Heritage and Oxbow
elementary schools in Huron Valley School District.


“Huron
Valley Schools Elementary Art Department in partnership with HVCA is honored to
showcase art work from students from all of our elementary schools,” said Denise
Forrest, Country Oaks art teacher and coordinator on behalf of the school
district.
"This exhibit is the culmination of a year's worth of
art education and creativity on behalf of both our art teachers and our
students. There will be a wide variety of art on display, both two- and
three-dimensional, from the elements and principles of art, to realism and
abstraction to world cultures.”


 The
dual opening receptions take place at HVCA's gallery, 205 W. Livingston Road in
Highland from 6-7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 28, and Friday, March 1.

 Forrest added, “In elementary art, students are introduced to a variety
of art forms and media," she said. "Students learn to look, understand, judge
and create artwork to communicate meaning. Beginning in kindergarten, students
learn art vocabulary and concepts that they will use throughout their school
career. Creativity, problem solving and critical thinking are embedded in the
teaching and making of art."
