| Ji Min 10', is not only one of our Art stars from 2010 but she was also responsible for some of the most astounding, incredible, breathtaking theatrical sets ever seen at Dwight-Englewood!!! This charcoal erasure drawing was completed in our Advanced Portfolio class this past year. The pic of Ji Min to the left features another of her talents and passions...We love you Ji Min!!!! |
We, your humble art guides, hope you enjoyed our look at 2010 and a small sampling of the artwork that exploded out of Swartley and beyond (believe it or not there are soooo many works and artists and moments we left out), field trips to the MOMA, MET, Cloisters, Cooper Hewitt, Chelsea Galleries, theatrical set designs, award winning works & fabulous events from PAS, the promotional arts society.
We are so very proud of all of the magnificient works of our students from all of the grades and are already enjoying the inspiring art of 2011 as the art fires in Swartley continue to burn brightly and warmly...We are blessed with the multitude of beautiful phoenix which rise from the hands and process of our students and continue to help them engage fully and deeply in those acts of creation!!!
