Lindewood features FHN art

Published: December 15, 2009

The Lindenwood art show was held from Nov. 22-Dec. 14. The show included art from classical to surrealism to abstract expressionism. There were 18 FHN students who displayed 23 pieces of art in the show. It was also opened to teachers. This was art teacher Zack Smithey’s second year participating.

“We make art both for ourselves and for the public to view and it’s a nice reward for all the time spent [on the artwork],” Smithey said.

Out of the 18 students, two of the juniors who participated were Amanda DeJarnett and Jennifer Voong. DeJarnett entered a surrealist drawing and Voong entered a portrait. Like Smithey, they were both very excited for the art show.

“I’m excited because I got to see all the other work that other people did,” Voong said.

Awards for the best artwork were also given out. Sophomore Kayla Busby won first place in the drawing portion. For those who missed this show, another chance for students to see “real art” is at The Foundry where even more North students will be featured. The open house will be held Jan. 10.

“All these sorry students need to get off their sea of subdivisions and see some real art,” Smithey said.
