Campus vibrates with creative energy all school year. Now—finally!—we get to see what our most talented artists have been working on, as the Warner Gallery opened its doors on the annual Honors Art Exhibit on Tuesday night. Seniors in Honors Drawing & Painting, Honors Photography, and Honors Ceramics proudly displayed their best work.
But the day before they opened the show to the public, artists from Honors Photography and Honors Drawing & Painting spent a class block in the gallery critiquing each other’s creations. The critiques were positive, pointing out the excellent creative choices made—from color choice and brush strokes to model poses and framing. The artists then responded, explaining the inspiration for their art.
The critique session prepared the artists to discuss their work on opening night, when the rest of the community joined them. With music setting the vibe and snacks in hand, students and faculty took in the artwork, awed by the paintings, photos, and ceramics that would be at home in any professional gallery. The selection included several detailed paintings of scenes from around campus and from the artists' off-campus lives, and many photos featured Millbrook students as models.
Warner Gallery will host another student show, Holbrook Made, in May. That show will feature more incredible pieces from the rest of the art classes in our academic programming. Until then, the Honors Art Exhibit is open—and highly recommended—for everyone to view.
