Student Portraits
May 22nd, 2007Tonight is finally the “Schools at the Pulitzer” event with Shaw and St. Michael. In case you haven’t read my past posts on this program, elementary age students from each school have been creating portrait art works, inspired by the exhibition at the Pulitzer. These works are on view across the street at the Bruno David Gallery. I just got back from a sneak peek, and I gotta say — it’s AMAZING. The talent and creativity of these kids is absolutely incredible, and the show has been installed perfectly. I have a few teaser photos for you to see below. After the program is over, we’re going to work on putting their artworks and photos from the event online in a mini-exhibition catalogue. So stay tuned for that.
Here’s a view of hundreds of portraits running the length of the gallery. It was fun to see what each student chose to represent in their work.
These you really have to see in person. The students picked a favorite art historical portrait, and posed like that particular work of art. The lighting, costumes, frames (which the students decorated) are unbelievable.
