ART SHOW AMAZES VIEWERS
Event held downtown
By Sabrina Kilmer

If you saw students walking up the hill with frames and paintings in their arms on Friday April 22, you might have been wondering what it was for. The Art Show of course. Getting ready for Valley Christian’s annual Art Show was exciting as well as stressful. Mrs. Leighton Isaacs needed as much help as she could manage on the Friday before the Art Show took place. A normally quiet and small AP Studio Art class was loud and crowded with many artists hurrying to make last minute fixes on their work, measuring painting for frames and so forth. But after all the stress, it all came together. In the end, Valley Christian High School’s Art Department once again put on a phenomenal show. This year’s show had pieces from Art II, Art III, AP Studio Art, photography, video production, and graphic design classes. It took place at the Downtown Youth Center in San Jose (formerly the Oasis Nightclub), April 25-26 from 7-9 P.M; with a reception with food and drinks the following night, April 27, from 7-10 P.M. The Downtown Youth Center was full of talented artists, proud parents, and admiring friends. Included was a special section for the seniors who were in AP Studio Art, which featured self-written biographies. These autobiographies shared about students’ experience in their high school art classes as well as a little about themselves. If you didn’t get to go to this year’s Art Show, you missed an amazing event! Be sure to be there next year to see more cool talents from your fellow students.
