GMC Prep School announces Art Exhibit winners

On May 7th, Georgia Military College (GMC) Prep School hosted an Art Exhibition featuring the GMC Prep School Jazz Band, as well as middle and high school second semester student artwork. For an hour, parents, students, and supporters of GMC Prep Fine Arts gathered in the Legislative Chambers to see the creativity the students portrayed in their artwork.

At the spring art exhibit, a variety of projects in a variety of mediums were displayed. The 6th graders created silhouette mosaics using cardboard to indicate a pose that describes them. The mosaic is made up of shaving cream and food coloring cut into a bunch of circles. Sixth graders also create watercolor paintings of the school, watercolor portraits, and Pastel and Black Glue Portraits.  The 7th graders have word collages, pastel shadow box drawings, Silver Scratchboard and multicolor scratch art. Eighth graders created one point perspective drawings of a room they designed, watercolor perspective paintings of a building on campus, linoleum carvings and prints. The 12th graders have pencil value drawings, photography, canvas paintings, and watercolor perspective paintings.

GMC Prep School Visual Arts Director, Paige Barlow, says the student put in a lot of hard work on these projects.

“The art student have been incredibly dedicated to a lot of different projects this semester but they’ve worked so hard on each one,” Barlow said. “Art takes time and patience and they are positively developing those traits. These students are so inspiring because they’re learning creative techniques and they’re applying them in a creative manner. It’s awesome to see those lessons come out through their art.”
