Juneau-Douglas High School art students this Friday and Monday will showcase their art in the JDHS winter student art show — and more than a dozen students in art teacher Heather Ridgway’s advanced drawing class will have a show at The Canvas for First Friday, Jan. 8. The students’ work showcases “a culmination of the concepts they’ve been exploring, how to express emotion and ideas within their art,” Ridgway said.
The JDHS winter student art show, an event held each semester, highlights the work of digital art students who have created animated GIFs and formline art, among other things; drawing 1 students, who have been “hard at work all semester so they could achieve a sense of realism,” she said, and ceramics students who have been studying hand-building and wheel-work, and have also created animal masks.
That show is in rooms 233 and 235 at the school. Friday, Jan. 8 it will run from 3:30 to 6 p.m., Ridgway said. Monday, Jan. 11, it will run from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. It’s open to the public, but visitors will need to get a pass from the front office.
