RESPECT THE PROCESS: CELEBRATE THE JOURNEY FOR THE LOVE OF ART

Hope Secondary School, Senior Art Students (Selected Works)
Instructor, Chris Janzen (Alumni)

Mar 18 - 29

The works in this exhibition represent the first year of a new program at HSS, designed especially for students interested in the arts: Senior Studio Art. The participants were selected through an application process where they were asked to explain why they thought they could benefit from being challenged this year in art class. These students, who added their own slant to course assignments, experimented with materials, and consulted with peers, have been challenged from start to finish to exceed requirements whenever possible. Some works stem from class projects, while others were created outside of class time. Our hope is that this work not only displays the talents of each student but also provides a small glimpse into the mind of young artists living in Hope, BC.

THROUGH MISERY AND FANTASY

Jen Pride and Tara Lynn Kozma-Perrin (Alumni)

April 1 - 12

Within the contemporary urban landscape and because of its unpredictability and disruption to our patterns of living, nature is often valued in terms of loss: of time and money. Through Misery and Fantasy questions the idolization of these values in consideration of the once highly regarded appreciation of beauty, and value of the beauty of nature in art. This urban tableau provides viewers a space for contempation of what is synthetic and nautral in consideration of our environment, our landscape and our selves.
