Adair senior art students showcasing work at Begley Gallery 'This particular Senior class is uncommonly filled with a number of gifted visual art students.' Cayce Davenport says, speaking of the Tradition of Excellence that is Adair County High School, in the arts as well as Academics, Athletics, and the Performing Arts. In this article the write recalls many of those traditions, largely begun by art teacher Henrietta Scott, and continuing through generations to this day. Artwork by Adair County Senior art students is being showcased at the Lucretia Begley Art Gallery in the Slider Humanities Center, 155 Blue Raider Drive, Columbia, KY. The show began May 4, 2016, and continues through May 24, 2016. with a reception Monday, May 9, 2016 at 6:30pmCT. Gallery hours are 8am-4pmCT Monday-Friday. By Cayce Davenport The Community is invited an art exhibit by Adair County High School Senior art students being showcased in the Lucretia Begley Art Gallery in Slider Humanities Building on the campus of Lindsey Wilson. Aaron Goode, a Lindsey Wilson senior organized the opportunity for the show. He has worked closely with Tim Smith, professor of art at Lindsey, while putting the show together. Adair County Art students have been working independently all school year on various projects in a variety of medias of their own choosing. Artworks include drawings, paintings, ceramic pottery & sculpture, photography, & graphic design. For the most part students have played the main role of deciding what direction they wanted to take. I acted as merely a sounding board and critic throughout their processes. Some students have had to balance multiple college classes and part time jobs while developing their body of work. It has given them a sense of what college studio courses will be like. This particular Senior class is uncommonly filled with a number of gifted visual art students. It will be very quiet around here when they're gone. They are incredibly close knit and have been in art classes together for the past three years. This year has been very different: they worked independently. They have been so used to working among each other. Some of them haven't even seen each other, much less their art throughout the course of this school year. This show will give this group of students the chance to come together one last time to share in their achievements and love of art making. Several of them are advancing onto college as art majors or minors. It's incredibly exciting to know that Adair County is still turning out creative minds and talented artists as it has for the past 40 years. If you've ever been in the art room at ACHS, you know that the ceiling is what stands out. The tiles in the ceiling of the art room have been decorated by former students in their final year of school. They are typically students who have had art for multiple years and wish to leave their mark on the room in which had meant so much to their time here at ACHS. It's a tradition going back to the days of Henrietta Scott. I myself have a tile from my Senior year. I have students whose parents' tiles set above them as they work. Looking at all the decorated tiles, I can see a great number of those individuals whom have gone on to make futures in the visual and creative arts. People whom have moved away from Columbia to build their lives and carry with them the lessons and memories made in this program. Some of us came back to Columbia. The rest of these tiles belong to those who have not made careers out of the arts but yet hold the creative process dear and understand the arts to be valuable and necessary in their lives. Tiles belong to people who are now teachers, professional artists, soldiers, engineers, bankers, criminal justice counselors, photographers, radio personalities, architects, farmers, mechanics, screen writers, and much more. It is fabulously gratifying to continue the strong traditions of this program which has meant so much to so many over the years. So it is that time of year when Senior students are claiming their tiles and my ceiling is filled with holes waiting for their owner to leave their mark for future generations to gaze upon. I am thrilled to have a display case packed with student art, holes in my ceiling while tiles are being decorated, and equally excited to have a gallery at Lindsey Wilson filled with my Seniors' work. Please come out and support these hardworking and talented kids of the Adair County High School Art Department. You may have been one in the past. Cayce Davenport, the writer, is Arts Teacher at Adair County High School. This story was posted on 2016-05-08 09:46:10
