​Homeschool art Students.
Today I am recovering from last nights amazing art show. It was our "Christmas Concert and Art Show" at St. Aidan's featuring all the art classes and their art since Sept. This included our "Portal Studio" art family of Grades 9 - 12 students you see above. You notice I said "family", well one of the students mentioned this in an Instagram following our art show and I agree, we have become a family of artists in every sense of the word. 

Today I wish to honor this amazing group. above. Most of them have been in this glass for up to three years now. Our yearly themes have included subjects like the human figure, animals, and this year, landscapes. 

Every one in this group is an amazing and uniquely gifted artist. They are no longer simply showing "things" in their work, but are using metaphors speaking of a huge verity of very important issues of life. These have to do with courage and solutions in the face of trouble, anxiety, loneliness, suffering, and fear. They speak of moving out into the world. Of history and what we do with it, and more. They reflect stories they read or are in the process of creating themselves. 

They are gaining a voice in their expression, speaking loudly with visual art via canvas and sculpture. 

I am so looking forward to the "Graduation Art Show" to be held at the end of the school year in June of 2018.

Here are some images of their work for you to enjoy.
