Celebration!

On May 22nd, Advanced Studio artists exhibited for the first time their "Celebrating Newark Throughout the Ages" Mural. The artists experienced a well-deserved sense of accomplishment through the collaborative work they did for the community by creating a large scale work of art. Like a community, the mural is a symbol for working collaboratively toward a common goal. The mural was true evidence of this triumph for the many people who attended as the community came together to celebrate the art students’ success.

A second unveiling will be scheduled at a later date when the mural will be exhibited and displayed permanently in the community.

Words of Encouragement

As the Exhibit approaches, Art I and Painting class offer words of encouragement for the Advanced Studio Artists. Students in these classes created hand written signs that were posted around the mural. Advanced Artists will exhibit the History of Newark Mural at 6:30 p.m. tonight in the gymnasium. All are invited to attend!

Finishing Touches

Advanced Studio Artists add finishing touches in the final week before the exhibit.
With the mural almost complete, the first public appearance of the History of Newark Mural is just around the corner. On May 22nd, 6:30p.m. the Mural will be on display in the Newark High School gymnasium. All that remains to to be completed is construction of the wooden frame, along with some painting "touch-ups".
