Artists discover identity alongside clowns, textiles, instruments
EXPLORE. SHS AP Art students climb through the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) on their first field trip of the year. On Saturday, August 19, Mrs. Kathy Ferguson’s AP Studio and AP 3D students visited the CAC to view specific exhibits that will serve as inspiration for future art projects. This year’s AP theme is “Identity,” and students were supposed to use what they learned at the museum as an inspiration point for their art. “I wanted students to be exposed to contemporary art because it is what is happening now, and you don’t have that many opportunities to see it. The CAC has major shows, so this gives you the chance to see pieces you typically would have to go to New York to see,” Ferguson said.
