STSD hosts annual art show May 7
A steady stream of family, friends and students strolled through the gymnasium at Salisbury High School for its annual art show May 7.
Pieces were showcased from the elementary, middle and high school art classes. Art students served as greeters and guides from the entrance and throughout the gymnasium.
Salisbury High School art teacher Jay Linsenbigler, Salisbury Middle School art teacher So Choi and Salisbury Elementary School art teacher Cathy Amorim were available throughout the evening program to answer questions about the art pieces.
Many of the students were proud to talk about their pieces included in the show and explained the materials and processes uses to create the art.
There were candy apples, lollipops, Popsicles, doughnuts, fruit and cakes in the various forms of watercolor, model magic and tin at the elementary level.
First grade student Cora Director said “art is my favorite class.” Her colorful dress complemented her watercolor lollipop piece she liked creating using watercolor and glitter.
Watercolor, colored pencils, sharpies, paints, yarn and coil used at the middle level were used in creating optical illusions, neographics, color wheels and coil baskets.
Sixth grader River Brightbill shared he “really enjoys art and gets better every year.”
Brightbill’s observation is notable as the most advanced pieces were presented in clay sculptures and pots, masks, photographs and paintings at the secondary level.
SHS student Kamryn Yerkes, who had a number of pieces displayed from photography to clay sculptures, enjoys art and appreciates how far she has improved since her elementary and middle school days.
“The Next Storri” acoustic duo featuring Salisbury Elementary School band and music teacher Stan Griffis and Lori Woodward provided entertainment while visitors appreciated the art pieces.
