Lower School Art
Art Gallery displays feature young talent
For budding Lower School artists, the Bruin Art Gallery in the school lobby provides an opportunity to showcase their talent while encouraging them to explore their artistic abilities.
“Students are thrilled to have artwork in the gallery,” said Darlene Tanner, Jr. Cubs – Grade 1 art teacher. “The positive attention they receive from this honor is immeasurable.”
The gallery of student art features original pieces that demonstrate lessons learned in class. Each quarter, Tanner and Kay Thomson, Grades 2-5 art teacher, select the artwork for the gallery and honor the featured artists with a reception for their families.
“It is very difficult to select the art as there are so many talented students,” said Thomson. “Having the art gallery inspires students to do their very best and be creative.”
