I have just returned from an art exhibit sponsored by the Dallas Museum of Art of fifty “Young Masters”, high school students from around Dallas, TX.
The creativity, imagination, and technique of these students is so exciting.
I love seeing the amazing variety of media, painting, drawing, collage, mixed media.
And the artists statements. These students are very aware of what they are doing and why. They conveyed deep emotion and passion and awareness.
I am so grateful for the opportunity provided by the sponsors. Being recognized is so valuable.
Artists are taking such deep risks to expose themselves through their art. These artists are very aware of the issues around them and how they fit into the world.
Their art makes compelling statements about identity.
You can see their work at the DMA. http://www.dma.org/art/exhibitions/young-masters-2014
Here is a photo of my husband, who teaches engineering graphics, with the student who invited him to see her work as an artist.
It was a moving evening to be surrounded by so much passionate and glorious expression.
