That’s
Artrageous: Works by
Student Artists
Tohono Chul Park’s Annual Student Art Exhibit
– Tucson, AZ
This year’s annual
student art exhibit will feature work from three Tucson area
schools: Kino Learning Center, Green Fields Country Day School, St.
Gregory College Preparatory School. The exhibit runs from June 12,
throughout the rest of the summer until September 9 with each school
featured in turn.
Every summer
Tohono Chul Park’s galleries feature exhibits of artwork created by
local students. The works demonstrate the value of art education
where students are given another avenue for expressing their
thoughts and ideas. In an era where young artists are bombarded by
visual images from the mass media, students can learn to decipher
the symbols and visual messages, examine the objects and events of
their daily lives and those of other cultures, and to unravel the
meaning and significance of the world around them. From the study of
ancient Egypt to French Impressionists, students can learn about
universal concepts throughout time and across cultures. They also
can experiment by using different materials and processes create
their own perspectives.
Exhibit is held in
Tohono Chul Park’s Exhibit House from June 12 and runs until
September 9 (closed on July 4). Students from three schools will
display their work in turn.

-
June 12 –
