Tonight in the Dalton Gallery
5-7 p.m.
AN EXHIBITION OF FISH
By Oakhurst Elementary’s First Graders
Stop in to experience the fish swimming around the gallery! Professors Nell Ruby and Lock Rogers designed and taught a project to 100 first graders inspired by by William Nixon’s “Salmon Run.”
The young students first visited the “Still Water” exhibition where they were given a tour by ASC students
- Victoria Campbell ‘12
- Arianne Kahn ‘10
- Olivia White ‘09
- & Lauren Whitton ‘10.
Then, at the elementary school, Professors Ruby and Rogers focused their program on the form and function of fish bodies. With the Oakhurst Elementary art teacher, Amy Evans, the students made their own fish, who are now swimming around the Dalton Gallery!
My totally unbiased opinion – the top fish in that picture is a work of artistic genius.
Fantastic! We are so lucky to have Amy Evans at Oakhurst!
I agree, Ms. Radford rocks!
These works of art will be the focus of a three-dimensional depiction of the sea that will be auctioned at the Oakhurst/Winnona Park Spring Into Summer fundraiser in April. There may even be two pieces of original art available. Don’t miss it!
And, Amy Evans does rock!
