Student Art - April Exhibit of the Month
The student show held in the art gallery during the month of April shows how much talent there is right at home in Goldendale. The Middle School Rocket Club had an amazing display of their working rockets. Jim Walter, their official photographer, captured some of the action at blast off time showing how powerful these little missals are. It’s a wonderful way to learn about rockets and how they work. makes this editor wish we had such a class in school, great hands on learning.
Other students exhibited wonderful talent and drawing skills in a variety of media. Running salmon swim around two walls in a variety of imaginative colors, almost as if they were swimming fast and hard upstream in a race for reproduction.
Students show great skill in drawing portraits of themselves using a variety of media. An amazing feat considering the difficulty in achieving a good likeness. Yet one has the impression that this is really what they look like.
Younger children were guided to
choose a specific color and tell about how they identify with that
color. an amazing variety of answers resulted in pictures that tell
the tale of thoughts about how a color might represent them.
Truly art can help youngsters to express themselves and serves as an
excellent learning tool. Never under estimate the power of artistic
expression.
