New Horizons Exhibition

 

For the last two days I've been showing just a few of the many pieces that were on exhibit at the Shemer Art Center featuring the work of High School students from 45 high schools across the valley.  

The painting above is by Emily Mayer, a Senior.  She calls this "Lake Powell".  There is so much emotion in this impeccable painting.

The piece to the right is by Jeremy Borgstadt and he's given it a tricky name.  It's called "I am (What You $33).  It's a mixed media piece using pieces of broken mirrors with acrylic paint and other things. It was tricky to photograph as it was reflecting the hallway in front of it.

Here is another ceramic piece called "Blooming and Blossoming" by Alexa Lizette Aragon.  She is also a Senior. I love these colorful fish.

This one looks a bit scary telling a story about a childhood fear of clowns.  It's called "He Takes Children In His Clown Car" and it was created by Alaina Novey, a Senior.  The scary face is done with colored pencil and it's framed by red noses made of foam.

This last one is a small sculpture called "Mechanical Luck Bug" by Alessandra Gilles, a Junior.  

This is the last of the photos I took at the show.  There were many, many more pieces and all were very impressive.  There are a handful more featured on the poster for the event in the photo at the top.

I applaud the talent of these budding artists.
