Month: July 2021
Kingston High School Senior Thesis Gallery Show
Dates: June 11th – June 25th, 2021
Location: idea garden main window
Event Description:
Maizy Milliken’s art is a part of the art thesis projects of students enrolled in the Senior Art Seminar course at Kingston High School. These seniors are graduating with a concentration in the visual arts. Projects were self-defined, reflecting the varied interests and voices of the young artists that conceived of them. Working with a mentor teacher, students were responsible for the entire process of researching, developing, executing, and curating their work. As an added challenge, a majority of these seniors were working remotely this year, turning their bedrooms into their art studios, and depending on video conferencing for support. They are applauded for their achievement despite the obstacles!
You can check out all of the artists here.
Miller Middle School Art Exhibition
Dates: July 1st – July 31st 2021
Location: idea garden main window.
Description:
Learning new ways and skills to make art with and teaching those ways and skills was not an easy thing in the 2020-21 pandemic school year. First, we all had to learn how to learn and how to teach in this new remote way…we had a bit of practice in spring 2020 but this time around we were all determined to be better at it. We distributed and delivered art supplies. Using the document camera, recording demonstrations and lessons, asking students to hold up their art to the computer screen camera to share their progress throughout lessons, and managing to have class critiques to give each other feedback, some students returned splitting classes into two hybrid parts- somehow, it all happened.
Our student artists were resourceful, hardworking, and fearless despite the many challenges.
