Wilton High School Student Art On Display At Local Gallery

The Wilton High School Art Department are holding their first gallery show of the year over the next two weeks. In partnership with the Rockwell Art Gallery the work of around sixty advanced art students is on display. ‘It is nice to share the talent of our high school students in town’ commented Sue Brandt, high school photography teacher and advisor for the open art club at the high school.

The exhibition opened on Wednesday, November 20th with a reception for students and parents. Members of the High School orchestra performed chamber music pieces during the reception adding to the atmosphere of the event.

The photography class exhibited a variety of pieces including prints on metal, infrared photography and hand-painted images. The ceramic class exhibited hand thrown as well as hand-built ceramic pieces. Some of the pieces included large bowls, a pot with a dragon sculpture and a pot with feather wings attached. The AP class and painting classes exhibited a variety of pieces including a Monochromatic painting, strip cut portrait photograph and a mixed media painting and photography. 

Sue Brandt is very thankful for this partnership with the Rockwell Art Gallery ‘I feel it is a great opportunity for our students to have their art work exhibited in a professional gallery, the gallery has been very helpful with this show and very welcoming to the students and the parents’

Artwork will be on public display at the Rockwell gallery until December 4th.
