May 22, 2013, the spring art show took place from 4:30-6:30 pm in the Orange High School lobby. Many students and parents gathered to see what the OHS art program has been doing this semester. Various paintings, potter pieces, sketches, and sculptures were on display. The showcase brought in lots of interested families and was a huge success.
The show was presented by the artists and art teachers, Elizabeth Dell-Jones and Mary Parker. They were able to meet parents and art enthusiasts and show the workmanship of Orange’s artists. They talked about the students and how far they’ve come.
Art student Cierra Smith said, “The art show was very relaxed, and it was nice for people in the community to come be involved with the program.” Viewers enjoyed drinks and different snacks while browsing the lobby.
People at all different levels and grades showed their art. A big hit of the night were the self portraits by Art II, and the Dragon Sculpture set by senior Ashley Hinkle.
The art program’s show was a huge hit, and there are high hopes for next year’s art. Congratulations to the OHS art program for their outstanding success.Written by Ashley Hinkle
December 19, students who are currently enrolled in art courses for the first semester of the 2012-2013 school year proudly displayed their best artworks in the OHS' main lobby. The art teachers, Mrs. Dell-Jones and Mrs. Parker, put on this art show every semester and give the students extra credit for the number of guests that they bring.
During the event students ran a free refreshment table serving punch, cookies, crackers and rice crispy treats. All of the concessions were generous donations given to the art department by the art students themselves, with some help from parents as well. The art show was a success. Many people showed up and said they enjoyed the displays. Guests remarked on how talented the students were and said they cannot wait until the next one.
The next art show will be held in the spring for Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Dell-Jones's second semester art students. Asha Parham, a senior, said, “All of the art work was beautiful. We have really talented artists at Orange.”
