Students in the advanced studio classes created nature drawings using conté crayons, a material named after Nicolas-Jacques Conté, the French scientist who invented this medium in the late 18th century.
In creating these works, students in the Art 1 class were observing contours and values and making design choices as they painted with India Ink. By reducing photographs to purely black or white, they have created a visually interesting graphic. Future galleries will showcase the same images using a subjective color palette.
Congratulations to Kate Willerson ('29), baritone saxophone; Raven Whitner ('29), drum set; and Benson Wei ('29), piano, for being selected for the GMEA District 7 Middle School Honors Jazz Band. We also congratulate Will Bowerman ('27), trumpet, who made the High School Honors Jazz Band after his audition in early October.
