The Art Department at Palmetto Middle School during May hosted an art show which showcased the work of talented student artists.
Kristine Ladines, the school’s art teacher, worked tirelessly to organize the show and arrange the beautiful displays. Artwork from all grades and ability levels were included.
Ladines also made it possible for visitors at the art show to purchase the prints using QR codes found on each piece of art directly benefitting the school’s art program. This is the second of two shows Ladines has hosted this year, after her students’ artwork was displayed in an interactive glow in the dark display earlier this year.
The great variety of art that students study and create in their classes at Palmetto Middle encompasses beautiful pieces using many different media such as charcoal sketches, acrylic painting, print making, watercolor, and three-dimensional multimedia.
Through the creation of their artwork, students also are able to learn about topics like Hispanic Heritage, Women’s History, and works of literature. Other artwork displayed featured lovely fall pumpkin and pinecone studies, altered self-portraits, and sketches of the human body. Students also created artwork that employed pattern, repetition, rhythm, and balance.
Many of the pieces displayed span the three years that eighth grade artists have spent working and learning under the guidance of Ladines. The Artist Hall of Fame showcased three of the school’s brilliant graduating artists.
The artwork of Samantha Greenidge demonstrates her impressive ability to use any type of media to create incredible self portraits, scenes with perspective, and detailed nature studies.
Emily Matias’ artwork employs a unique and splendid combination of whimsy as well as colorful portraits.
Valeria Arias creative portraits include vibrant compositions with abstract flair.
The talented artists spent three years honing their crafts, exploring their abilities and expanding their knowledge in and outside of the classroom.
Many visitors enjoyed the show and also attended performances of the school’s Music Department.
