GHS Art Show Planning and Event

Creativity/Action

Every year high school hosts an annual art show where students are able to put up their work on display and show the community what the art program at Goshen high school is all about. Plus, this introduce students to the world of professional or semi-professional artistry, allowing them see what a gallery would look like and how it functions. As an IB senior in art, I was given two walls to put up artwork on. I chose t display many of the pieces I was proud of during the year, involving themes such as animal conservation and animal cruelty; all of them original ideas from my imagination. Through this experience I was able to give back to the art program by publicizing it with my work which naturally would perk the interest of other people who would want to join the program. I had to collaboratively work with others in order to plan and carry out the event as well as help display all of the work that would be put into the display area. During the middle of the art show, an awards ceremony is held where students are given awards based on the worth of their achievements during the year. I personally was praised for two silver keys I won during the Scholastic Art Awards competition. The value of this event is that I was able to see what a gallery would look like as a became older and pursued art as a career it also showed me what it would be like to work with other artists in a close vicinity, as well as how work should be displayed for professional setting. The community also have the opportunity to see what the art program offered. In this case, I helped plan and initiate activities within the high school as well as displayed my perseverance and commitment to the program at my high school for art. As of now I have successfully carried as activity for 2 years, the first year being a new challenge for having never set up my own display before, but now it seems like second nature.

Outcomes from this activity:
  • Undertook new challenges. 
  • Planned and initiated activities. 
  • Worked collaboratively with others. 
  • Showed perseverance and commitment.
