Some 800 students are represented in the Youth Art Show, a collaboration between Winthrop Public Schools and The Clock Tower Gallery, at the EB Newton School & Cultural Center. The exhibition features clay sculptures, watercolor and acrylic paintings, sketches, and photographs, by young artists like first grader, Isla Dankner, who enjoyed participating in a group project with her class.
“We made Olympic rings in black, blue, yellow, red, and green. What we used to make them was tape. It feels good,” said Isla, Gorman Fort Banks Elementary School, about seeing her work on display. “We got to do it as a whole class. It was really fun. Art is my favorite because you get to make something together if you want to.”
View the Youth Art Show on Wednesday, 1:30-4pm, and Saturdays, 1pm-3pm, now through April 18.
