||| FROM KATHLEEN YOUNGREN for ORCAS CENTER VISUAL ARTS COMMITTEE |||
The VAC (Visual Arts Committee) at Orcas Center is proud to present the wonderful art of the high school art classes. The opening reception will be on May 6th from 5:30 until 7:00. Art teacher Corey Wiscomb and his students will be there to tell us about their art, their process and their personal connection to it.
Teacher, Corey Wiscomb said, The Visual Arts are well established at Orcas Island High School. Progressive course offerings give potential for students to go from beginning to intermediate, to advanced, and all the way to Advanced Placement level. This includes Classical Arts training, photography, and some Digital Design work. Art from the students very much reflects their youth by being very energetic, passionate, and sometimes right on the precipice of pre-professional achievement before these young artists take their work to the collegiate level. Some works carry the air of youth finding their voice, even if it shakes. Others are simply about the joy of process, creation, and pride in craftsmanship.”
The Madrona room is filled with the amazing art of elementary and middle school kids made possible by the Art for Orcas Kids (AOK) program.
Student show will run throughout May with an opening reception on May 6, 5:30 to 7 p.m. Join us and hear from the artists and their teacher.
