Glasgow High School will host its annual art show from 2 to 4 p.m. this Saturday. The exhibit will feature drawings, paintings, ceramics, prints, collage art, weavings and some independent artwork students made outside of the classroom.

“My favorite part is to see all the work that we have accomplished throughout the year,” art teacher Neli Ouzounova said. “To see how we have grown from the very first day when we started a project, and then seeing that same student’s work at the end of the year — they have thrown in so many of the things we have talked about.”

Freshman Tiana Johnson said taking this class has been a positive experience because it has opened her eyes “to a lot of different kinds of art.”

“It made me enjoy art,” she said. “And all the friends I’ve made.”

In addition to meeting new friends, sophomore Ava Shannon said she has liked learning about new ways to make art and sharing that passion with others.

“Getting closer to art has gotten me close with my mom,” Shannon said. “Because she likes art, too.”

Shannon said her favorite project this year was when they worked with clay.

“I made teacup and a coaster,” she said, adding that the most challenging part about working with clay is “it getting all over your clothes.”

“And on my hands and under my nose,” Shannon said with a laugh.

Community members will have the opportunity to bid on student art during Saturday’s show.
