Kevin Buxton
Martello Cesar
Michela Giordano
Erin Kerr

The Portfolio Exhibition differs from Burlington High’s other annual Art Exhibition (in March) in that it's student-organized. Students in the advanced art classes self-select the work to be displayed, they organize their own personal exhibit spaces, and they'll be on hand to discuss the bodies of work they have developed over the past year or more. One long-term effort from each Portfolio student will be on display:  a Concentration, a series of artworks focused on a particular theme or method, with challenges and objectives set by the student. Visitors will be able to speak to the artists about their goals and their processes.

Art Club had a wonderful fundraiser! The students entered a raffle to win the prize of two tickets to Happy Place.

Special thanks to Art Department Interns Matt Collina and Cynara Ferraro for all the great work that they did running the fundraiser and to Moxie for the ticket donation!

This workshop is appropriate for all levels, from those who have little or no experience to veteran artists and art educators, who can use the time for their own personalized artistic development using the classroom's equipment.

Invitation:

Lexington Arts and Crafts Society presents:
23rd Annual Regional High School Artists Show


The artistic talents of our area youth are on display at the Lexington Arts and Crafts Society for the 23rd Annual Regional High School Art Majors Show. The work of students from Arlington, Bedford, Burlington, Lexington, Winchester, Waltham, Lexington Christian Academy, Concord-Carlisle and Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical high schools is currently up and on view.

The names of the exhibiting artists from Burlington can be found here.


The artwork on exhibit has either been selected by teachers (The case in Burlington.) or chosen by the students with the assistance of their teachers. Many of these young artists will continue in college to become future designers and fine artists. The styles range from energized multi-media drawings, still life studies to architectural designs. Other mediums represented are experimental sculptures, photography, painting,  ceramics, graphic design and digital art.

The “High School Artists, A Celebration” reception will be held on 
Sunday, January 27th from 2 – 4pm in the Parson Gallery. 
Lexington Arts and Crafts Society
130 Waltham Street, Lexington, MA.

We hope you can attend.

The gallery of the Lexington Arts and Crafts Society was built with the philosophy of giving local artists an opportunity to exhibit their work. In that same spirit, we are giving our area student artists the same opportunity.

Gallery Hours: Tuesday – Friday and Sunday 12 – 4 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Admission and Parking are free. Open to the Public
For more information: Call 781.862.9696 or visit www.lexart.org

The Burlington Education Foundation funded the artist residency with Bren Bataclan. Bren spent the day at BHS talking to all students, giving an art workshop to a smaller group, exhibiting his artwork in the Cambridge Street Gallery and giving away three paintings by hiding them around the school and in the community. 
The students enjoyed the talk, learning about his art and motivation and spreading smiles. 
I asked some of my students what they learned and how Bren's fits into our school wide theme: The Power of One.
Here are some of their responses:
