Studio Arts at Kent Memorial Library

This December at the Kent Memorial Library, the William Pinney Gallery features artwork from Suffield High School’s Studio Art I students, taught by Mr. Tim Kudrle. The foundational art course introduces students to the language of art and the creative process. Students gain a basic understanding of art elements and learn to apply art principles to a variety of artistic media. They develop skills in observation, drawing, composition, use of color, and painting.

Studio Art I includes the study of known artists and their works, art history, aesthetics, and criticism. The artwork on display are a mix of graphite value studies, large-scale silhouette narratives, abstract charcoal mark-making drawings, and observational drawings. Featured artists include Juliana Balsamo, Evan Held, Evangelina Plano, Nora Rodriquez, Rhyon Schuster, Gavin Sepko, Harrison Stauffer, Noah Turton, Amelia Manegre and Kalina ViVenzio.

This is a great opportunity for the students to see their artwork on display in a gallery, and for the public to enjoy the work of these young artists. While you’re at the library this December, stroll through the Gallery from December 2-23.

Thanks to Fran Milliken, the Suffield Arts Council and the library for establishing monthly displays.
