The Many Faces of Portraiture
March 16 through April 30 March 16 through April 30
In this exhibit three different Rye High School elective art classes investigate various ways of exploring the portrait.
Students in the Painting and Drawing electives produced classical self-portraits in oil and acrylic developing their skills in rendering facial forms from a single light source while making considerations about their own style and composition.
Advanced Studio students analyzed the late expressive cubist work of Picasso and produced these abstract and symbolic portraits by deconstructing the forms of the figure and then rearranging them in compositions focused on color, shape and pattern.
AP Studio students looked at the advantages of utilizing digital imaging software by professional illustrator Zina Saunders to underpin these multimedia environmental self-portraits.
Students exhibited ranged from 10th through 12th grade. The exhibit was curated by art instructors Anthony Campbell and Bendis Mani

Moments of Gratitude in Black & White April 6, 9:30am - 5:30pm
