IT’S ALMOST HERE. Students in the AP art classes as well as in AP Photo and the fashion class set up the district art show on Fri. March 2. They missed all their classes, coming in at 7:00 a.m. to put up the foam cores, tables, and the runway for the fashion students’ dresses. They then spent much of the day hanging up artwork from young artists in the district before hanging up their own portfolios. “I loved getting to see all the little kids’ artwork and the potential they have to become amazing artists in the future,” said Lavanya Konda, 12.

TAKING ON WATERCOLOR. Opening night takes off with a bang at 5:30 p.m. on Fri. March 2, with four demos and tours occurring throughout the duration of the night. Senior Serhiy Royter showed little kids and families how to use the wheel. The most popular demo was watercolor painting, in which seniors Melinda Looney and Adhiti Chundur walked three different groups of young and aspiring artists through the basics. “It was so fun doing the demos. The little kids were so enthusiastic about learning and trying something new,” Looney said.

”WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS.” During opening night, some artists also stay in the art room and work on their artwork as groups of people are cycled in for the demos. Senior Elayna Berry stayed for much of the night, working on her oil painting. Tours were also led by seniors in the art classes. “Opening night was so packed. I definitely didn’t expect so many people to show up. Each of the four tours were so filled and took almost an hour each instead of the half hour planned,” said Thea Ferdinand, 12.

MUSIC FOR THE SOUL. The annual Pancake Day, held on Sat. March 3 this year, draws in many families, students, and others. It was a time for them to enjoy music, the art show, and, of course, eat pancakes. The event is a fundraiser for the band and orchestra programs at the Greene School, Junior High, and high school. “Pancake Day is always so fun to take part in. People from all over the district come together to enjoy music, art, and food,” said Leah Schwartz, 12.

ONE, TWO, THREE: SHOWTIME. The art show brings in crowds of people to come see the work done by students in the district. The AP students’ portfolios were also showcased in regions that were set aside. The art show lasted for the entirety of the weekend. “It’s so fun to walk around and enjoy all the work people have put in to their pieces. Each piece is unique,” Looney said.

ONE LAST TIME. Students take down the district art show on Mon. March 5 during sixth bell. While the show took hours to put up, it was down within an hour. For many, this was a nostalgic moment. “It’s so sad because this is our final district show. Only the senior art show is left before we graduate,” Konda said.
