TRC Children's Art Exhibit features student works Dec. 3-Jan. 10

Release Date: 11/20/2008. Expired: 1/10/2009

As the fall semester comes to a close, students in The Renaissance Center’s art classes will display works in the Children’s Art Exhibition Dec. 3-Jan. 10 in the North Wing Gallery and North Wing Display Cases.

The exhibit will feature individual artwork and group projects that represent what the children have learned in the variety of classes at the center. A reception for the Children’s Art Exhibition will be 6-7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 12.

“Each year the students of The Renaissance Center have the opportunity to showcase their artwork for the pleasure of family, friends and the everyday occupants of the center. This occurs at multiple times throughout the year, but each time there is a different group of artists with different work, and sometimes even new classes,” said Amanda Dillingham, curator at the center. “There is one group though that is near and dear to the hearts of so many in our community: the children. Our children’s art classes at the center take up the majority of the art instruction, whether it is through private or class-based instruction.

“They often stay with us for years, moving from one class to the next, becoming more and more advanced as they move along. It is often a delight for our instructors, as they see students reach new levels within their work, learn something new, or achieve a goal for the first time.”

Excited children greet their teachers with hugs and parents with gifts of newly created pieces of art on an almost daily basis. This exhibition allows those children’s art classes the chance to do this on a significantly larger scale.

In the North Wing Gallery and Display Cases, classes from drawing or painting to Native American art will be showcased, focusing on children’s art.

“While this is not a new exhibit, it is a perfect opportunity to bring it back to The Renaissance Center alongside the 10th annual Little Master’s Art Exhibit and celebrate the talents and endeavors of our youngest community members,” said Dillingham.

Teachers in each of The Renaissance Center’s art classes for children will select individual students’ works or present group pieces that reflect the lessons presented during the fall semester.
