"SENIORS ART SHOW
ARTBEAT"

MARK R. ISFELD

HIGH SCHOOL

Opening Reception - Wednesday, May 30th (6 - 9pm)

  

 

   

The Pearl Ellis Gallery and the Isfeld Art Department invite the public to attend Artbeat, an exhibition of grade 11/12 art work.

Running from Tuesday May 28- June 16, Artbeat is a showcase of art produced by a number of different students from Isfeld Secondary school. With a wide array of works being presented, in a number of different mediums, the exhibition is well worth a visit to embrace the creativity of our community’s talented, young artists.

The Mark Isfeld students of Gary Aylward and Lisa Chase will show a number of silkscreen pieces, acrylic paintings, experimental big canvases, clay masks and photography pieces.

"It is exciting to see how far the students have come in one semester, says teacher Gary Aylward who has been mentoring the students all year, helping them get ready for this show. “Each of the students has been on a personal journey of artistic expression and self-discovery; the results are provocative and stunning.” “Many of students have never been involved in an art show or even thought of having their work displayed in a public gallery, so this is an excellent opportunity for them.” he added.

Two students Johanna Weber and Luna Huebchen travelled to Europe with the school on the March break and their artwork reflects their experiences of being in Berlin and visiting old concentration camps.

Visitors to the show will not be disappointed according to Chase who said, “Our students are very talented and their work is diverse.”

There will be an opening night on Wednesday, May 29 from 6-9 pm where many of the artists will be on hand to discuss work and celebrate their achievements.
