Each piece will have an artist’s state- ment, so the student can explain their process and creation.
The range of talent and interests is fascinating, Martin said, because some students approach art class with a mere need for an arts credit, while others are working toward building a portfolio to send to art college programs.
There are two awards given on the night of the reception; the rst is the Curator’s Choice Award, which is decided by the Hockaday sta . The other, the People’s Choice Award, is decided by votes on the night of the reception.
“We want to encourage people to come in opening night and choose their favorite piece,” Martin said.

be up until May 7, and Martin encour- aged people to stop by and check out the work. Not only is it good art, she said, but it’s also the art of teenagers, who are in near-constant emotional and some- times physical ux.
That makes each year new and dif- ferent, she said, because each student comes from a unique background and lifeexperiences.
“All in all, there are just some really neat things,” Martin said. “High school art is interesting because of their thought process and what’s important to them as teenagers. Sometimes it’s the world viewed through their eyes or it’s a just nice landscape.”
