Local students’ artwork featured at West May 1

The works of art were created in art class under the guidance of Amy Seber, art instructor at the school. This exhibit has been organized in conjunction with the art curriculum, and is an integral part of the school’s efforts to promote the exploration of self-expression in young students.

“The cultivation of creativity in young children has been shown to have positive and far-reaching effects and we are excited to be partnering with the school to bring the importance of young artistic development to the forefront of education,” said Christene Repass, marketing vice president of KidsArt Fairs, organizer of the exhibit.

“Whether the student is six years old or 11, an incredible vibrancy shines through each painting. We are proud to celebrate the vision and talent of these junior artists.”

Parents, families, teachers, and the community are invited to attend the event, and all signed original artwork, which have been matted and framed gallery-style, will be available for sale at the show. West Elementary is located at 400 Clark Blvd.
