“Cubism Reversed”

Second Annual Walnut Hill School Art Exhibit

Show runs April 10^th-23^rd, Reception April 12^th, 4:00 – 6:00 pm

Walnut Hill School continues the series of youth art exhibits with “Cubism Reversed”.The dates of the show are April 10^th to 23^rd. The reception is Thursday, April 12^th , 4:00 to 6:00. The public is encouraged to come to the reception and meet the artists.

The exhibition highlights constructions made in art instructor, Ken Tighe’s 3D Mixed Media Class. Each student selected as their source a famous Cubist painting by a

well-known historical artist. These art students were challenged to reconstruct [and

reinterpret] the image into a sculptural work of art.

Jim Woodside, Art Department Chairman, describes Walnut Hills’ Viual Arts program as being a studio environment where students hone their technical skills and simultaneously develop a sense of content, or purpose in their artwork. The students

learn to discuss their work, articulate their ideas,and ultimately identify goals and challenges in their own art work. Students learn to see the study and practice of visual arts as a way of creating ideas and symbols, a way of developing a personal language.

The TCAN gallery is normally open from noon to 6 pm, Tuesdays through Saturdays, and 1pm to 3 pm, Sundays. Admission is free. Please call to double-check these hours as the gallery is staffed with volunteers. The art can also be viewed during musical and

spoken word performances at the Center, evenings Tuesday through Sunday. Ticket prices for these events vary. For more information about TCAN events, call 508-647-0097or visit the center’s Web site, www.natickarts.org
